Default Grand Voyager 2.8 CRD Cambelt Advice

Hello
My GV is over due a cambelt change. Its now at 68000 miles and 8 years old (I have no history of it being changed and the suggested intervals are 62000 or 5 years)
I'm no stranger to belt changes on other makes and in the manual is dosen't look too hard to change. But I have a couple of questions.
- Change the pulleys and tensioner as well?
- And is it worth changing the waterpump at this mileage? On one hand it makes sense since you have the access to it, but on the other hand is it likely to fail?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Travelmad

Mines is the 2.5 CRD, and the timing belt snapped.

Because of this, I had to buy a timing tool at £50 and an injector removal tool (£400 I believe, after import duty etc). (just to add you shouldnt need either of the above as it's not snapped)

Replaced pullys and tensioners,( Voyager Cherokee 2.5 CRD , 2.8 CRD CAM TIMING BELT KIT | eBay) also paid £185 for a new water pump but since found out the pumps not a high fail item. WATER PUMP NEW CHRYSLER VOYAGER 2001-2007 2.5 & 2.8 CRD | eBay

Default Cambelt Advice.

Hi Guys,
Here, glad I read this, was just going to book my 2003 2,5 CRD in for a full Cambelt kit and water pump as well. Its said to change water pump if its powered by the belt. Ah but wait, £148 on E-Bay so what will garage charge...
Don't think I'll bother this time...Thanks for telling me..
Goggs..
