Hi mate and welcome to the forum :y

Cost wise about £100 for the cambelt kit and £25-30 for the waterpump which you may aswell do while doing the belt

Hi and welcome to the forum :y

All depends on what parts you are wanting to fit to your car really.
Genuine Vauxhall Water Pumps are now over £70 :o

Official labour time for a cambelt change is 2.40 hours, plus the cost of the kit thrown on top.....you are probably looking around the £200 mark.

Welcome to the forum by the way.

I would second that for Buypartsby. Their belt comes with markings which makes it a bit easier to do. Good price. I bought an OOF DvD which helped greatly with the change.
