Good advice to do the pump, I did`nt do mine and paid the ultimate price when it broke up 6months later.

Mine went too shortly after the first change.

Belt kit inc rollers from Vx trade £83 & £35 for a waterpump + vat (for a 2.2)

Vx did say 80k initially but dropped the recommendation to 40k after some incidents  :-X
