Its not a bad job to do, just take your time and make sure you have a crank locking tool when you change the cambelt, there are quite a few guides on the site to help. While you are doing this it is worth replacing the short rubber pipe on coolant near thermostat if it hasnt been done as these fail and are a pain to get to otherwiseGreg

The only difficult thing are the exhaust manifold and turbo bolts. so take the head of with theses still attached. refit the same. Don't forget to undo the oil and water lines from the turbo.
If you do it this way, you have a better of getting the manifold bolts of without snapping the studs. Sometimes the studs come out, which is good because you really need to change both the nuts and the studs.
Make sure you put the turbo nuts in a safe place, as these are made from a special metal, and are quite expensive. Good luck: thumbs:Comment
