Had a little spending spree lately.... gaskets, bolts, nuts, cambelt kit, water pump and a lightweight flywheel. Thanks to @Steven_K for the flywheel and thanks to @renaultpartsdirect for all the other bits and bobs.
I believe it's a TTV flywheel:

So the tightening was the nut on the exhaust pulley tightening itself which stopped me rotating the cambelt. I couldn't stop the cambelt drifting towards the engine so i've tightened everything up to spec and rotated the engine via the crank.... All good now with no cambelt drifting, it's...
