Well when KrisB does them, he does.
Cambelt, Waterpump, Idlers/Tensioners and Coolant. So probably.

Put it this way if you have the belt done then your water pump fails a week later the cam belt needs to come back off so you would be charged near enough the same labour again.

You could pay to do your Cambelt then two week's later your water pump could go which mean's lots more penny's will need to be spent, May as well do it while your there in the first place.

Should say all cars where the timing belt drives the water pump, there are some exceptions out there
