I thought I had to change the whole diff housing/shafts and everything.

But if its just the centre, I should be able to get a centre and swap it out :)

There are some real cheap kits out there for timing belt and water pumps, but have chosen these two. Thoughts?;

The water pump is unbranded - I wouldn't buy that one. There are some nasties about. Look for a GMB one instead, they're the OEM supplier and the price should be about the same as that one.

The Gates belt is good but you do need to replace the two idlers at the same time. Look for a kit.

You must go genuine for the crank seal, the crank bolt and the key. That means ony MX5parts.co.uk or Mazda Australia.
