You're a very brave [or stupid] man Richard.
Good luck
I took the easy [expensive] option and left mine for the dealer to do. I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Just read the guide - OMG - a tad more complex that the last time I changed a timing belt in 1984 on a 1600 Mk111 Cortina - good luck

Thanks BrumLee, I have that and the other 12.65.18 so hopefully I should be OK, only worry will be getting the timing right but I have the tools so should be OK
Adam...............aahhhhhhhhhhhh the Cortinas, I had MK1 and 2 Mk2 all GT's, loved them

The timing belt set up is similar to the Volkswagon LT van, timing belt at the front of the engine and pump belt at rear. The only real difference been that you can remove the front slam panel at the front and bulkhead panel at rear to access belts. No such luxuries with the D3

Good luck Richard.
I also took the expensive route and let the dealer do it. They left the old belts in the boot afterwards for me to look at. Didn't appear to be too badly worn but better safe than sorry.
There appears to be plenty of room to change the ones on the front of the engine, the one on the rear is a different matter.
