So the belts and tensioners all need doing what else should i replace for eg the water pump/oil pump?? please advice thanks

You will also need to get hold of a proper locking tool

making a locking tool is easy. get a flat piece of steel and ideally the top of a large axle stand or tube. cut about 3 inch off it. weld it to the plate, burn a hole in the back so the socket goes through. cut a small bit out to replicate the locking area on pulley. cut big hole in end of said flat piece so it hooks on the stub mount locator.

do belts and tensioners and water pump. look at the oil pump but changing is a bigger job.

triple double check the cam pulley isn't fractured at the key.

I did similar recently cam belt, tensioner, pulleys, v belts, water pump rocker cover gasket (don't know why mechanic took this upon himself) £420 parts and labour. Good luck.
