You can try asking Marks DTM what he charges. Failing that, a little further away, is Darth Loo-knee...

JamesV6CDX did an excellent job on my 2.6, but he is about 100 miles from you; he does travel!

The price is difficult for me to quantify, xwai, because James also replaced my thermostat and transfer tube, did an oil change and other general tidying up. It will also depend on mileage to you, of course.
As regards the water pump, James considered mine to be in good condition, and not worth changing; if yours is an original Vx pump, it could be ok as well.
I have to say that James is a perfectionist, so you can be assured of a great job, unlike a garage job posted on here today, where it seems that they had got the timing wrong!

Surely that's a question for whoever does the work?

It's not crucial on the v6, as it runs on the aux belt, not the cam belt as on the four pots. Owners call really, I have one in the shelf, so each time I do the cam belt just check the bearing in the pump for wear, or just release the tension on the aux belt to check it prior to the work. If its got play or runs rough then change it. If not leave it, the oe ones generally do over a 100k quite easily, and the newer ones are allegedly not as reliable.

....IMO of course. Thing is of it fails it has to be stripped back to the cam belt again to change it. Although the cam belt itself is untouched of course.
