Earlier this year i bought the skf timing belt kit with waterpump from buycarparts.co.uk which is basically autodoc as thats what the boxes all say for shipping.
The waterpump from memory is branded as skf and whilst i dare say it's not as well made as the previous ones i've bought genuine from Peugeot it's leaps and bounds ahead of the vetech one i picked up from gsf years ago.
https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/skf/1365887
They also list just the skf water pump on its own for around £24.
I also bought a thermostat, i can't remember which brand i went for but it was around a tenner and im pretty sure it came with the seal in the kit, if not they're under £2 for the seal on that site anyway.
The nice thing with that site is they list loads of different manufacturers for almost any item you might want and the prices are very reasonable, the down side is the parts seem to come from Germany and take 1-2 weeks to arrive.
I'm sure i paid over £100 from peugeot for my last water pump which is why i've started shopping elsewhere, felt like i'd had my pants pulled down after that purchase!
EDIT: I forgot to mention that i think the skf kit came with a paper type gasket for the water pump, so i also ordered one of them pressed metal ones seperately as i prefer them to paper, might also be worth doing similar if thats the route you choose to go down.
