You have removed the cam lock?

You laugh... I had a hell of a job trying to turn the crank first time I tried it on my own... turns out I had left the car in gear and couldn't turn the crank any further than the slop in the flywheel

Point is, don't overlook the obvious

I wont/havent i just need to get her purring again

If you've turned it by hand then you are highly unlikely to have done damage - unless you've forced it?

Strip it all apart and start from scratch

To do the cam reposition do i have to crack the cam bolts that hold cams in a reposition that way after putting c/s in tdc

That would be a sure fire way of ensuring it never ran again

I was going to try to post up a how to but thought this link would offer better guidance. It might not be the correct engine code so you will have to take note of your cam markings and alignment marks but the principle is the same.
If you are re-timing it, be VERY careful when repositioning the crank as this is where you can cause damage. DO NOT force anything in to position.
If you have less idlers than the example shown, the principle is still the same regarding the timing marks.

Good luck.

Let's start simply

Set the crank to 90 degrees before or after TDC, then set the cams and lock them. Then set the crank to TDC and fit the cambelt

Thank you EVERYONE for your help i have managed to get myself a copy of autodata this evening and this has given me the exact same info so plan is

1) Restart by removing Belt

2) manually time engine up to TDC as per

Follow Mark's advice above regarding setting the crank to a safe position first though.
