i didnt even bother with mine had a full kit installed

i felt the problems i could have caused over weighed the cost to have it change professionally.

good luck to you anyway fella

i also need my cambelt changed, just havent got around to it
i dont think you'll need any specific tool just a tipex pen to mark the cam pulleys and crank pulley
the 1.2 is a basic enough engine with no Variator to worry about so i think you'll get away okay with the basic tools.
your leaking water problem does sound like its coming from the waterpump. i'd get it changed asap

First thing to look at is if the water pump is actually leaking and to strip the car down to the point where you CAN see the pump..if its leaking the tell tail water stains will be there you can bet ya bottom dollar..ALL stilo's need the use of cam locking tools to hold the cams shafts still while the cam belt is changed ..yes even the 1.2..and if you have read many guides then you will already know the tippex'd whit marks dont do the job on these cars and many others these days..[proceed at your own peril ] removing the plugs DOES help the engine to turn over due to the lack of compression and helps you check when the timing marks are lined up by probing No 1 cylinder with a long object like a piece of cane or thin rod for TDC..its false economy to not fit the whole kit because some where down the road you bet ya bottom dollar the tensioner might fail taking the engine with it..like wise the water pump ..if its on its way out then it has to be done but if the milage is high on the car then a water pump change should also be considered anyway for the same reason as the tensioner..what happens is the old pump will be under a different tension from the new belt and that will invarably cause it to fail in the long run because of it..cost of the change can be high from some garages but the 1.2 is one of the more straight forward ones so you might want to in this case consider a garage to get it done correctly..

For reference, mine cost a little over £200 for the full cambelt change and waterpump replacement last year, including labour. It was of course at an independent

you've got it about right by the sounds of it mate. wish you well on your endevour
unfortunately i dont have any cam locking tools if i did i'd throw them in the post for you

I thought that the 1.2 (and 1.4) did have variators?

Oh right. Does the 1.4 not have any sort of Variable Valve timing then? I always thought that it did, lol.
