Good thread Socket.

I would suggest doing thermostat at same time as water pump to save on labour costs.

For those people thinking OMG i havent changed my waterpump/solenoids/injectors/coils etc and I'm at XXX km, make sure you weigh up the cost of 'over-servicing' vs your inconvenience if they did happen to go out on you. Not saying you shouldn't do preventative maintenance, but a waterpump could go bad at 40k or 140k so if you kept changing at 75k then you could be wasting money if your pump would actually last much longer than that. Bit of a gamble i know, but unless you can't afford to have your car off the road for a few days, or you have a money tree in the backyard (if you do, come i come over for a beer?) then don't fix what ain't broke imo. ***This comment does not apply to fluids! :P
