    No probs mate

    Personally I'd change the belt and pump much earlier. Water pumps can seize at 50,000 miles, snapping the timing belt! HTH

    100k is vauxhalls time to change the cambelt and why they tell you to change the water pump is that is the part that normally what makes the cambelt to fail snap . you should phone up the person who serviced your car and check and see if this has been done if not id advise to have them both changed asap especially if your over 100k or even slightly under

    the service history says at 89k it had its camshaft drive belt(s)/chain(s) changed. is that the cam belt & it had a drive belt(alternator/dynamo) done as well. that means i have to get me water pump changed asap.

    ALSO one more thing i was at dealers in southall. they said front ~& rear parking sensors is £500 includes paint fit supply and screen display. Is that right?

    That is correct, cam is short for camshaft

    As the water pump was not changed, leave it
    Listen out for excessive rattling and/or water leaks on the cambelt side of the engine
    The cambelt would need replacing again if you replace the water pump, so you would effectively paying for something that doesn't need doing

    Next tip would be to half the interval to the next cambelt change, to 50K miles, so will be due to 140K miles
    At that point have the water pump changed
