Is the waterpump powered by the cambelt?
I know on earlier Vauxhalls, although the cambelt was usually capable of lasting 'x' years or 'x' miles, the waterpump or cambelt tensioner wasn't.
I can remember it reduced to 40,000 or 4 yrs on some of the older Vauxhalls, whereas it was once upon a time 80,000 miles or 8 years. Mainly because of the waterpump and tensioner prematurely wearing out.
