yes m8, got the kit, the head on it looks like a star-torx type thing but you also can get a allenkey to fit as well, looking at the settings it says. timingbelt tens-bolts 25nm
..............tens pully 40nm
..............idler pully 25nm
the torx ive got here wont fit my torque wrench, half inch fitment.

You are more than welcome to borrow some tools or come over and do it round here if you want mate, nothing worse than being stranded without what you need, if an allen key fits it (properly) it shouldnt be a torx, you could probably make a smaller allen key fit a larger torx but it would slip under pressure if its not right

hi ste, thanks for the kind offer m8, got it sorted, just about back together, just got the plunger to fit and fire lol, both the idle testioner was shot and the other one had play, also think the belt was streched, as now im trying to put the plunger on and you have to lift the idle tenstioner with bungee cord , but i need to lift it up more and its tight so might have to put bar under tenstioner just to lift it upetc, as b4 you could lift it by hand and fit the plunger, thats why i think the belt had streched, anyway im out of light here this end and its not one of them rush jobs so will wait till the morn now,andy.
