Check the ball joint diameter.
There are two sizes, so it might have the wrong one fitted.
If not, a second hand hub from a breaker is only £25 anyway!
Yep, jubilee on the tensioner. Alternator out of it's top fixing. Once the belt is on, use a lever bar to lift the alternator, slide that bolt in, then take off the jubilee. Simple.
Nothing needed to be done on the exhaust for the manifold. Just undo the nuts and it'll slide backwards. Watch the gasket, it's like a f**king razor blade. Chopped my hands on it before a few times.

I remember it being something like being inside the car, lock the car, then unlock it. Put key in ignition on number 2 for 30 seconds. Remove key. Lock car, unlock car.
If the immobiliser light isn't going out, there's your problem. Got a spare key? Try that.
Earths - there's another one over the back of the box that is easily missed.
