HI there,

Just got to work and checked the engine timing belt book, this job requires 6 special tools some are just locating pins but others are more intricate, it takes around 3 hrs to do and it is done in situ, but as i mentioned it is a tight fit, now if you have broken a timing belt, the news is not so good as valve damage will result due to this being an interference type engine.
