Shouldn't cost much more than £400 for a genuine Volvo belt kit & filters discounted from FRF, with a new water pump (don't buy that from Volvo, they're a rip off).
Less the labour cost if you do it yourself.
It's the same engine as the Nissan/Renault vans so plenty of cheap mechanics will be able to do that job for you.
