Oil pump, should i do it at the same time as the cambelt and water pump?

Depends on milage. If its done well over 100k, might be worth changing it as its probably still the original.

To be honest I should imagine its done over 100k, but im unsure, so thought it might be best to change it. Are the:
Oil pumps/Cambelt kits/Waterpumps all the same on XE'S?

There are two different types of cambelt / waterpump. Squaretooth and round tooth.

Im not 100% sure about the oil pump, however i do know early XE's had a different crank to later ones. Hopefully someone can clarify.
