Right the belts and tensioners are all changed. It all went fairly well and I've even got some skin left on my knuckles.

A few thoughts and questions.

The bolt for adjusting the tension of the power steering pump is a bitch to get at.

How do you slacken off the aircon pump to fit the new belt? seems like the bolts for doing so are inaccessible with the engine in place.

The markings on all the pulleys are bloody difficult to spot, nail polish is your friend.

When everything was back in place it all restarted fine, I have left the cambelt cover off fo the moment just so I can check the tension of the belts etc, but the belt noise seems quite pronounced now. There is a new water pump in there as well, so is this going to affect things?

Quick vid after the belt change:

Sounds worse on the video than it really is. At least the water pump isn't about to die.

Another problem is that I seem to have picked up a misfire. Now the fuel has been in there ages, and I've messed around with the plug leads as well. I'm going to swap the plugs over and check all the leads and will report back tomorrow.

Oh and there was some confusion about the placement of some of the markings as the technical manual refers to the engine when its sat on the bench and upright, not when its lent forward in a car.
