Timing belt

[sucofdrof]

Hi there, 

My 1.6 petrol 2008 focus zetec is at that age for the timing belt replacing (mileage is 70 thousand). 

I'm thinking I should have the belt and pullys changed. 

Would you recommend having the water pump and coolant changed at the same time? (I have with previous cars) 

Also has anybody recently had this done and what sort of price I should expect (thinking of an indie garage) 

Thanks for any help with this :)

spent about a hundred on the parts, did it myself, saved an absolute fortune ;)

defo do the waterpump and coolant, no sense taking it all to bits then leaving it.
