Around the £6 mark if you shop around a bit! Though you need to make sure it looks the same as the genuine item, i recall that some of the cheap copies aren't quite so good at getting the water round!

Yepp, belt off. Good time to change it anyway, together with the tensioniers.

The water pump here in a citroen dealer costs 84€! By other maker costs 36€... a BIG difference... is it worth it? i don't think so..
