anyone in london know how to change the belt in a 01 zx3 ? or know where to get it done cheap? the various different mechanics around want to charge me more for the labour than the belt itself...110 for a belt.... HOLY :o ... 80 was the best so far.

no no, its not like i want to put in a rubber band in place of it or anything. i just mean if anyone knows of a place where they charge decent rates for their labour. the part is 35 but with labour comes up to 80-110..... is that the norm ?

Very much the norm. Do you have any idea what goes INTO changing this part? There is a LOT of labour.

no i didnt know that it was that labour intensive. thats why i was asking if it was the norm or if it could be cheaper (which i asked first, maybe that was the mistake). anyways, sorry to ask a dumb question but i just needed to know before i got it done. i didnt want to find out i got taken for a ride at the mechanics a week later.
