How hard is it to change as mine today has just started to make some noise

Also were will be the cheapest place to get one from or would it be a dealer only ?

its quite an easy job, only made harder by the likes of powere steering.

take alternator off, take powersteering bracket off (if you have power steering), remove waterpump.

then do this list backwards

most tricky bits are putting powersteering belt back on, this is a bit of trial and error.

fill back up with water and bleed system
