Well done that man! Did you also change the idler / tensioner, water-pump & coolant?
 
yeah i change cam belt kit and water pump even tho it looked new it was menmt to of been done before i bought the car and was done 3000 miles ago the belt looked ok but the tenteoner was gone must of neve changed it
 
to be honest all i know is abouit doing an oil change
but if yours is a 16v if u get the locking tools and haynes manual u cant really go wrong but u will need a touqe rench and somthing to hold the cam pulley if any one here is from london and they want theres done contact me

Ah about the same knowledge as me then lol!

I have an 8v mate, meant to be easier??
 
i undertook quite a few things the other day as the car was crying out for replacement parts and a decent service, i just needed to get over my fear of being crushed by my car and i was fine :eek:, never done anything like it b4, i changed radiator, thermostat, coolant temp sensor, water pump, timing and aux belt, tensioner, oil, plugs, filters, feels like a new car :D, don't be stupid like me i forgot to refit crank sensor and car wouldn't start, i was convinced i made a fatal cockup

you should be confident in working with your car
