I found the rubber bung and tdc, quite obvious, but only when it got darker this evening. Now the water pump which I was also going to change, What a pain. I had to give up. i removed virtually everything only to find that the bracket that holds the alternator has to come off and one of the nuts is hidden behind the timming cover base plate. so after scrathing my head for a long time, i gave up. I completed the timming belt only and have to put the rest back on. Perhaps next weekend. i need a new cam cover gasket and a PCV pipe which broke during dismantling.

Thanks for your help

Hi there

Not done a pump on this engine but looks quite involved even though it's not driven from the cam belt, it does say in the manual to remove pump with the housing, assuming thats how your doing it? is it that the nuts are rusted up or is it an accessability problem.

One of the nuts is not accessible unless all the pulleys are removed. this includes the fuel pump pulley. I got round the problem by removing the oil pump pulley and replacing just the impellor part of the pump, and threw away the new body
