Get a water pump to......try your local factors for a QH one (cheaper than Vx on trade club and as good a quality)

It,s actually not a bad job to do just take your time and be methodical in what you do, allow a morning for labour time, yes you need to replace pump at the same time as they do fail, cost circa 30-35 pounds, and replace anti freeze at the same time as you will loose it when pump removed.

ps you will need a cam locking tool before you start to lock both cams from moving.

No, motoquip and QH are good for 40K+  miles.

It is an easy job as its easy to get the belt cover off and access is a  doddle!

I think with a Haynes manual you should be ok - its pretty straightforward on the 4 pot.   Make sure to do the water pump at the same time.
