Right its had :
New mid section and back box for the exhaust...
New front brake pads...
New back brake pads...
Handbrake sorted........
New windscreen washer pump...
And finally today... new timing belt and pulleys...
starting to get a bit skint now lol, although the belt and pulley change only cost me £212 which i was happy about as i was expecting it be to nearer 250-300 :y
Are there any other major or minor problems that could be lurking in the near future?or things i should think about getting renewed for a car of this age and mileage?
The car is a 2003, 53 plate, 2.2, petrol , Auto and 80,000 miles

Did you get the waterpump changed with the cambelt and tensioners?

No didnt get the water pump changed :-[ should i have done then? how much does that cost?
How much would a auto box filter and oil change cost? ( bear in mind id have to take it to a garage as id have no clue what im doing lol)

Water pump would have set you back about £30. Allways change it when doing cambelt. ATF drain with new filter and gaskets about £120-150 at a garage :)

Can i get the water pump changed at a later date though or would the whole timing belt have to removed and redone? I think i'll wait a little bit longer for the auto box changes lol maybe once ive done a bit of overtime ;D

You'll likely be OK with the water pump, it's a belt & braces insurance policy with regard the belt. SWMBO's 16 valve Astra didn't get a new water pump when I last changed the belt, & she'll be need another some time this year, age rather than miles.

Apologies for my ignorance but what does ATF stand for and what frequency should the auto gearbox oil be changed? Finally after how many years does the filter needs to be changed?

Automatic Transmission Fluid. Filter and fluid change approx. every 60k :y

The cambelt would have to have the tension released to remove the water pump, easy enough to do :y
