hello re timing belt
changed my timing belt and idler roller but tried to cheat with timing by just removing old belt and without turning any cogs put new belt back on
big mistake as diesel pump pully was not timed
stripped down a 2nd time timed up properly and started first time
2nd strip down took me 30 minutes because i new what to do and in what order
jack up the car and reemove drivers front wheel
remove mud cover
remove all engine top covers
remove water pipe from across timing cover
surport weight of engine
remove engine mount
use 14 mm spanner and long pipe on drive belt tensioner to move against the spring hold and remove drive belt
undo and put diesl filter to one side
remove engine mount
remove bolts from water pump pully no need to remove pully just leave it laid on the boss and move it about as you need to
remove top timing belt cover
renove crankshaft pully as explained in other posts
remove bottom timing cover. from under neath down
be very brutal it will come out without breaking
replace belt and retime as in other posts
total time from non starter to purring like a kitten just over 2 hours.
hope this helps others of us
