Oh have a little faith Yeecup, how hard can it be to change a belt after all?!
The 172 is sounding very lumpy/unhealthy on tick over and low revs and on 130k ive decided to have a go at replacing the dephaser pulley and timing belt myself tomorrow and have decided that as I've already got a head gasket and bolts set in the garage I'd do that as well while the cams are out...
