Reciever this from Edition_30_P

"Hello Dude!

See you need your cambelt, water pump and rear brakes done! I work for West London Audi in Brentford West London and, have helped out a few guys on here and on the VAGOC forum with services, cambelt, water pumps, pads and discs and done mods such as TBE's, F&R ARB's, Twintercoolers, Intakes and other stuff! If your local to the london area  could help you out if you were still looking?

If you would like prices and to take up my offer 

Cheers

Phil"


Seems very genuine & helpful. 

"I would chrarge to do a Cambelt + Water Pump would be £150 and, the parts would be £180"


HTH

Hope you dont mind me posting Phil  :happy2:

TSR is in Bridgwater, not bridgend.

If you can get to Merthyr, Capitol VW will normally sort out a good rate
