Hi,what is the schedule for changing the 1.8 petrol timing belt? What else needs doing (eg. tensioners, pulleys, water pump)?Any other belts worth changing?

The Z18XE engine is every 60,000 or 6 years (whichever is sooner)

Yes, good practice to change the waterpump if driven from the belt (can't remember if it is on this engine, or it's the newer Z18XER that's not driven from the cambelt)

Also, you want a cambelt kit, which includes all the rollers, tensioner, etc.
