There will be lots of swearing! I had the problem where one of the rear hand brake cables parted from the yoke under the centre console - lots posts about this one; just one of the problems you will likely experience but as always when you finally get it all working the satisfaction will be immense!

I recently did the cambelt - took a lot longer and was a lot harder than I expected - just turning the engine over was hard as the compression of the 200HP diesel is huge. Top tip when doing the cambelt: order spare plastic rivets as the wheel arch liner is riveted so had to work with it bent back as did not have any rivets to put it back which limited the working space I had.
