I have just had this week, a quote of £290 from my local Volvo independent near the Tyne Tunnel, and that includes absolutely everything.

This was for a 2007 XC90 that I was considering buying where the swirl flaps were definitely broken and leaking oil.
The owner wouldn't accept for one second that anything was wrong so I left it.
That said, having that quote from a garage that I trust and are very familiar with the job is reassuring should I ever need it doing.
At that price it's not worth the hassle for me.
