All,
Many Thanks to all the suppliers that answered by emails. And especially thanks to Ben from Angleworks (www.angel-works.co.uk) who cooked up the below for club memebers. I hope you are all happy with the below. Rather than paraphrase Ben i've pasted his mail below. Looks good to me (well not for me tho,
as I have done my belts already!) But I think the deal is good. Please post up your interest!

Hello Peter,
Total job list is:
· New Cambelt kit (3 idlers, 1 tensioner & belt) replaced
· Water pump replaced
· Aux belt replaced
· PAS fluid replaced
· Coolant Replaced
· Aircon degas & re-gas
· 8 hours labour for complete engine & sub frame removal.
Here are the final Prices PER customer INC vat.
Using all OEM parts:
1 customer = £1078.80
5-10 customer = £942.43
10+ customers = £806.50
Using OE parts:
1 customer = £787.41
5-10 customer = £685.36
10+ customers = £572.05
OE parts are gates Cambelt kits, as per OEM parts minus the Renault box. There is a significant saving, but this is entirely up to the customer as to what they feel comfortable using. It has to be said, that although both OE and OEM parts carry the same warranty, if anything were to happen, it would be easier to claim anything through Renault rather than through a long winded process of motor factors, agents & manufacturers as the parts have to be removed and sent away for analysis.
All special tools for the job are used.
The process would have to be as follows:
· Number of customers finalised
· A non refundable deposit paid to cover purchase of parts at discount price and to ensure that any drop out from the GB list result in no loss on my behalf for the upfront purchase of all the parts
· Final amount paid upon completion of the job
· Customer to provide prior booking on a first come first serve basis. Weekday bookings only as weekends are reserved for racing/testing/social activities, apologies if this causes too much of an inconvenience.
· The job will take longer than 1 working day as it is just me working on the car. Customers are welcome to provide evening drop offs and collections after their own job working hours. E.g. drop off at 8-9pm and collection at 8-9pm on the second working day thereafter.
The deposits breakdown is as follows.
Using all OEM parts:
1 customer = 70%
5-10 customer = 63%
10+ customers = 63%
Using OE parts:
1 customer = 50%
5-10 customer = 39%
10+ customers = 42%
I have tried to create a mutually beneficial GB concept which will not put either me not the customer out of their way too much. I hope this presents a usable saving and a GB schedule that can be stuck too without too much complaint.
Regards
Ben Rushworth
