you wanna get the waterpump done aswell really, only costs about another 20 quid and it's worth it in the long run, if your water pump ever went then they gotta do all the cambelt again anyway !

Exactly !!! whats the point of not doing it and spending like £100 when it'll cost probly tripple to get a new engine if your breaks and even more to get the head done.

It's false economy to not replace it.
