Hi Kevin

It was 90 degrees past and the cams are 30 degrees past I tried from the start again but the belt is slipping so the crank has turned fully and the cams slightly so as a consequence everything is way out from there original position

got to the part where you put the crank locking tool on ok checked timing on 1,2,3,4
all slightly out so could not fix locking tools to cams so tried adjusting as in DVD with 30mm  spanner  gears did not move but rollers came loose tightened rollers up but still did not move so decided to start all over again removed locking tool precoded to rotate engine only thing was belt & CAMS 1,2,3,4  did not move but crank did now crank will not move at all.
New engine or is it retrievable ?

Well after completing the cam cover gasket and associated pipe cleaning
I thought I would tackle the cam belt & water pump got the DVD  the other day parts and locking kit arrived today will go for it this weekend. Just one question how long should this take, do I tell her who must be obeyed I will be under the bonnet all weekend   so she cannot go shopping or just one day ? And are there any problems I may come across that are not covered by the DVD.
Any advise would be appreciated.
