Wow! £300 to change some £4 seals in the rocker cover - that he ought to have taken off to do the job properly in the first place.
Ask him how much Snake Oil is per Litre

And thanks Jim. That particular mechanic said the rubber seals were £35 each. He said "When you change the copper washers the rubber ones always break and need replacing, and they are £35 each"
And the second one actually changed the copper seals and said "You don't need to change the rubber ones at the same time" and he charged me £150 to do it. At a glance there appears to be a very new looking black plastic "lid" on top of the engine now where the injectors go in. I'm going to take a photo, hang on...
