Good deal going on the Red all year round anti freeze at the mo, would get all the parts where ever possible on TC card, the savings alone on the water pump cover the cost of the card.

There is someone on Fleabay that sells good Cambelt Kits aren't sure who but they cost around £70.... the water pumps I would get from Vx around £30... Cam Locking Tools seem to be quiet hard to drop on but they do come up from time to time again on fleabay...
Red anti freeze is the one you need mate it is longer lasting too :y

Apparently Sykes and Pickavant are one of the best locking Kits to get there have been some problems with the Laser type..

for that money, you should be able to pick up an SP one, which does appear to be better quality...
