Standard socket set will get it all appart, you may need a TORX bit for the oil pump.

There is a hidden bolt on the top rear of the timing cover in the V-Valley.

JUNK the Viscous fan while your there.

Good result there Bobby. I paid £360 for a complete car with 8 months MOT, 60K on the clock and full service history. Only faults with the entire car were a FUBAR slushbox and five ancient tyres.
