The part is £22 and its about 30mins work for someone that's done it before.
I wouldnt worry about rushing out to do it unless your car is modified. I am still running the same follower for 30k at stage 2+.

What are the typical symptoms that indicate that the cam followe may need changing?

Usually none till fueling is compromised and then you may get fuel cuts or dashboard cel. By that time the follower may well be punched through damaging the cam lobe, fuel pump plunger and putting shards into the engine oil channels.

Personally I would have a look and change it at that mileage as the wear issue isn't confined to mapped cars.
