From HJ's car-by-car-breakdown:-

"Timing belt and GF50 tensioner pulley replacement at 40k miles or 4 years whichever comes first is critical."

IIRC, it is basically a Vauxhall engine, and if so, then what HJ advises is correct.

If it's an 8 valve engine, then it's *reasonably* easy to change, but if it's a 16v, you'll need a cam locking kit.

Also consider changing the waterpump at the same time, as it's driven by the cambelt.

No Haynes book available, according to their website.
