Dealer will charge about 150-200 quid all in, there are some factors to take in as you can have problems with the pully wheels so that may add to the bill, but the belt (either genuine subaru or gates, think they are the same anyway ) is longer than most and also more expensive.

Too be honest Tony I think things have moved on a bit... you would be lucky to get the job done at a dealer for less than £300..

A genuine belt costs £130 & most dealers would charge you 2hrs to do the job. which is on average another £180 ish.

Or you could go to one of the best tuners in the UK like Zen, who charge £47.50 per hour for labour, not £90.00

Yup I agree, they also won't charge you the extortionate £130 for the belt!!
