Quite easy. Just a word of advice. Take the cambelt cover off and check for stray bits of belt. They quite often get in there and cause the cambelt to jump.

The only thing I can suggest is go on a diet, chuck all the junk out of the van and get used to admiring the scenery as you go serenely by.
Are we there yet?????

Essentially no .... I'm assuming it has clean air and fuel filters with good timing belt and brakes are all free.
Basically no !
Drive the torque curve, maintain momentum whilst looking ahead and " accelerate " in advance rather than with a more powerful vehicle doing it when you want / need to.

get the right belt.
there are a few different sizes for the 1.9D and Euroshitparts has them listed wrongly.
