Are you sure you are talking about the timing belt and not the Auxiliary belt ??? You would only see a tear on the timing belt after taking off quite a few components .. including the timing belt covers !!

I'll not say more until which belt you are refering to is confirmed .. :)

If you are changing the belt you SHOULD have a full "belt kit" that includes the tensioners.. as it is these that fail ... you also MUST have the correct setup tools - The V6 Cam Locking Kit - .. it is IMPOSSIBLE to set the timing correctly without them, it is worth changing the waterpump while you have it stripped down.

The OOF shop sells a DVD with indepth instructions on how to do it

Think thats about it ......

If there is any chance of failure I would not drive the car until you've got it sorted out. Otherwise failure could result in several thousand pounds worth of damage to the engine :o
