someone was telling me just the other day that the water pumps rarely fail on these!!
nothing overly hard about changing these, but the pump is slightly burried in the ancillaries,
but for a specialist it shouldnt take too much time at all!
Ok so since getting my car it had the cam cover lug thats meant to bolt to the lower inlet mani snapped off!!
stupidly i forgot this today and when i tried to tighen the braket that goes above it on.....BANG, the lug snapped off that too!!
look see

thanks for the...
No, its not an easy job to replace to rocker gasket! its very hard!
it shouldnt necessarily been done with the cambelt, but to change it now, you will need to have all the cam locking tools, so effectively back to a specialist!! :(

well it just mean there was a turbo dump noise every time you refuel! lol
why put a breather though?! its already just fumes going down that pipe, nothing that needs to be filtered out!!
