While they have it apart for the water pump, they may as well do the timing belt since replacement is related

[bertybug]

will do that for sure.....any other ideas greatly appreciated

Timing belt and tensioner, serpentine belt. Most important things along with the water pump.

I had all that done along with an oil change and air filter change when I took mine in, mostly because of the convenience, not necessity.

It would be a good project if you have a repair manual and a full weekend. It can be done in one day but not by the total novice. Take your time and since it's pretty straight forward, you should do ok.

cant get nb repair manuals anyway here in uk

any ideas?

You might consider replacing the thermostat and coolant temp sensor while you have it drained to do the water pump. Neither is a life-of-the-car item.
