Nice. Seeing as the timing belts gotta come off to do it, you may as well ge them to do that to (if you supply the belt that is.)

I think the belt it self is only like 200ish so if they are taking it all off and puting the old one back on, just give them this one and if they try to charge you tell them that they have to do it anyway.

No worries, do a search on "timing belt part number" and you will probably find it. ;)

Its a Gates T987 belt available from most autoshops. Can be anywhere from $100 - $200 depending on where you go.

The water pump & timing belt are supposed to be changed at the 100,000km service & by the sounds of your water pump, I don't reckon the belts been done, so perfect opportunity.
