£37.80, instead of £45.54 if you feed exactly the same part number into the carparts4less website.
Log in, place it in the 'basket', then leave it there overnight, and you'll find an email in the morning offering you a further 7.5% off.

It's not that bad a job. I did the waterpump on mine last Friday with the circoli pump(metal impeler) listed above and replaced the belt with a contitech one (second belt in 600 miles as I forgot to do the pump at the same time first time around).

Took about 3 hours. The main thing is to remove the airbox and radiator first to give more room.

32mm spanner required to remove the fan clutch and the rest is 10mm and 13mm nuts and bolts. The wiki guide is pretty thorough. I'd also replace the fan belt and power steering belt at the same time as they need to come off anyway.
