Aye just bought the cambelt kit for £50 delivered genuine GM not paying ridiculous VX prices even on TC (didn't see this one last time D'oh). As for water pump checked that 2 years ago (along with the belt) it seemed fine (unless anyone can suggest a cheap water pump around £20-£30 i might change it.

I should add i do very little mileage with the Omega..

Water pump on 4 pot driven by cam belt - if it "blows" so can cambelt mate.  Believe OOF recommend changing water pump with cam belt kit on 4 pots :y

Matters not how many miles you do,the old belt will have worn slack,when new kit is fitted and correctly tensioned it will load the pump bearing and could knacker it,trouble is if that happens it could take the cambelt off with obvious unhappy result.

I changed my cambelt and pulleys and forgot about the pump. anyway after about 3 months the water pump started squeaking, don't know if it was to do with the new kit putting extra tension on the pump or just coincidence. from now on I will do both regardless  :y

better to be safe than sorry :)
