Am I correct in thinking that it's not a timing belt but they still call it a timing belt kit, right? So replace the serpentine belt and all the other things.....or else. Yes it's the best thing to do I agree. I suppose it's far cheaper than the discs & pads I just replaced...

I'll obv need to replace the coolant yes? And would that be with G12 or G13? Any difference? I'm finding difficult in locating a write up on how to put the rad/lock into service once I've removed the bumper....any tips or anyone know of a link that shows how to do that please?

I've only driven 500 odd miles in this car and it's costing me a fair whack of cash.... hahaha oh well.. Thanks for the help..
