Thought if I put it here others will be able to search for it
it’s very important to check and replace the oil pump cover with the reinforced one, otherwise on the older design the timing belt tensioner snaps and causes catastrophic engine failure
here are some pics of the old and new design so can see the difference
particularly important after 2007 but not to say they don’t have the earlier design on older years
Timing belts and oil pump should be done every 105,000 miles or 7 x years which ever comes first
ignore at ur own peril and for sake of a few hundred quid its worth replacing the oil pump at the same time the belts are done
expect to pay roughly 1k for new belts, tensioners and oil pump
new style oil pump, has the extra reinforcement casing
last pic showing tensioner in place
