If you have absolutely EVERYTHING done on the SSS, then expect to pay around £500-700 at a independent specialist/tuner. I just have. (And that didn't include any cambelt tensioners either - they weren't required this time).

Sorry, just realised YOU intend to do it. So just parts only - but as bigsinky has just posted, quite an extensive list...

Opie Oils stock all service items, I think - at decent prices.
