The belts are exactly the same, checked them side to side plus they have the white marks I made on them which match up.

Have installed the "Bolt and Washer" camshaft locker (seen in foreign videos) in addition to the criss/cross one that I made.

It is time to force the old one glazed timing belt on as a test. maybe the glazing on the smooth surface helps (olive oil on the new one). In the videos the gents always have on rubber gloves not cloth ones like I wear.

I am collection lots of still shots on my camera.
