Morning all.

In the near future, my 1.9D is going to need a timing belt kit replacement, and at some point a new clutch & flywheel. I'm up for having a go at both jobs myself, providing that they can be done by myself on the drive.

I have my own tool kit and have worked on both my V40's a fair bit. I was wondering whether there was any special tools I'll need or procedures I should follow for either job.

All told, the clutch & flywheel are gonna floor me financially, but they are the main things right now that need doing. I have considered just buying a clutch kit and wait till the flywheel actually dies... but something is telling me I should buy both. The car is on 78k but was owned by some clutch ridding old biddy. Would it be worth replacing the flywheel?

TIA!
