Am getting my timing belt changed next week at mitsu. Should I get the water pump changed at the same time, whilst they're at it? Is there anything else that i should get em to look at? The car has 95K on it & has had it's 90K service.

On a 4 year old car, with relatively low ks, it's probably not necessary. AFAIK they've never really been problematic on 3rd Gens. How's the coolant look? ie. uniform colour, not greasy/milky?

Get the cam seals done while its all apart. They aren't that expensive and if they go after the belt has been done you have to pull it all apart just to fix them again. And labour is dear!

Yep - I did mine once the pump failed, did belts and seals and all. Cos biggest part of the job is to dismantle the bugger (=labor costs).
