have you taken off your standard air box and replaced it with a KnN cone filter or any other aftermarket induction kit
To the point see if it is vibrating on the underside of the bonnet or anywhere else in the engine bay

timing belt kit from vaux is bout £90 retail i think or if you no some1 to get it trade there £70, water pump is bout £60 retail and bout £30 trade.
then if a garage does it prob 2hours labour plus some antifeeze.
obviously you can get no genuine bits which are cheaper but thats up to u
