while you're at it get your alternator belt changed too, and get the waterpump looked at...

Yeah do the waterpump while you're at it, because if that goes you're looking at the same consequences!

In fact I'm ordering my bits in the week, the previous owner said it's been changed but I can't find any paperwork to prove it :?

Not worth the risk :(

Seems a fair price considering the length of the job, parts prob come to no more than £50
