You will have to change the water pump, cambelt and tensioner. Really skilled job though coz the timing has to be bag on. I'd get it done at a garage

no it hasnt got a cambelt!!!!
its a timing chain. so its driven by the auxilary belt.

just take the belt off then replace the water pump. should take you about 45 mins maybe less.

best thing to do is get a haynes manual and itll tell you exactly what you need to do the job and how to do it.
