>now have several problems;

I see Phil has answered most of your questions already.  Just a couple of 
things to add:

>1) . . . crank bolt . . . need to remove it . . .  Any tips here
>would be greatly appreciated.

Many people on the list have done it without buying 2084 (cost GBP40).  I 
did it by wedging a LARGE screwdriver into flywheel teeth and getting my 
wife to stand on 6"extension.  Then I went out and bought 2084 so I wouldn't 
have to do it that way again (2084 is still sitting in my garage, nice and 
new and shiny and ready to be used next month when both my timing belts need 
to be replaced)!

>2) with the engine at TDC the cam timing belt gear does not seem to be 
alinged

>just about straight up

Make sure you check the mark on the REAR (the side that faces the engine) of 
the
cam gear.

>3) the idler pulley seems to be fine, put since I'm there should it be
>replaced?  How is it removed

With a puller.

>/installed.

Don't try and install it with the thin bolt.  It will break!
