has the timing Belt been replaced in living memory?

It's not an expensive item and u will have to remove the camshaft gears so if you have the radiator out then it can be done thru the front.

I have had good success with lifting the car up and dropping out the engine, g/box, cross-member , etc (remember to disconnect the steering bar under the engine)
