Hey Guys -

I've seen/read a lot of articles around doing a timing belt job, seems very popular. I decided to recently do mine and wanted to share with you the part list I created. It seems everyone has a slightly different take on it but this is what got me through mine ensuring I replaced everything along the way with the correct replacement parts.

Nice, thank you.

Also a good time to replace the belts of the alternator, power steering and aircon if these haven't been replaced yet.

Looks like something went wrong with embedding the video on his post.
It's this video he posted:
