Is this price right for a timing belt replacement?

My 2010 Peugeot 5008 has 108,000km on the clock and I have been advised by the dealer that the timing belt and water pump need to be replaced. This will cost €800-900 on top of the service. This seems to be a lot of money. Would this be correct?

Will MINI pay to replace my power steering pump?

I have a 2004 MINI Cooper and the other day my car suffered sudden failure of the power steering. I believe in 2013 BMW released a letter stating they would extend the warranty coverage for the power assist steering pump and associated cooling fan for 13 years. My car is currently with my local garage and they informed me that the steering pump needs to be replaced and will cost nearly €800 to repair. I am wondering if my car is covered under warranty within Ireland?

Thanks
