I’m doing the belts, tensioners and idlers on the next dry weekend. £101 all in from Autodoc app (comes from Germany).
Clutch kit was Sachs. Belt kits from Gates. Both reputable aftermarket.

I've used Sachs before for suspension components and they've held up well so far. I too plan to get a Gates timing belt kit for my V40. I must admit, like yourself, the thought of removing the box is quite something. Can't afford that kind of garage bill though...
