Is there any other recommended places in and around Essex to get a quote for the job?

Engine dynamics - Kelvedon essex.
Andy knows his way around meganes/ clios had him put some cams in my old clio 172 - good service and very knowledgeable when it comes to renaults. He was part of BBPT before setting up engine dynamics and he's cheap compared to a lot of other specialists!

Called Engine Dynamics and the price they quoted is £108 for the same job. It is half price!

Yeah Andy at ED is a good bloke just looked on their website and including them providing oil/filter/pollen filter + sparkplugs including a service £199! So excluding the gearbox oil change you'd get all the bits and the service for less than the price Mark fish asked for just labour!

Although Mark fish has a good rep its a stupid amount of money!

When you get their you'l see RS's allover the place its what he specializes in, you should ask to be taken out in their little clio 172 demo turbo car its only got 230hp but it flies!!

Not sure it's helpful at this stage but...

My "last service cost £90 for the parts (filters, oil and plugs) and the garage I used charged around £100, although about £20 of that was fixing a few other bits and pieces so the full service including parts cost £170 or so.

I just had the exact same service (- the gearbox oil change & air filter) at a local Renault Indy and they charged me £179 Inc. VAT - they said with air filter it was £199 including VAT.
