Peugeot 406 HDi cambelt change. - 659FBE

I am considering replacing my trusty but ancient Swedish (non-GM) SAAB with a 406 HDi, having been impressed by the 106D. I intend to buy as recent and low mileage a specimen as possible, and keep it well away from franchised dealers. This has worked well for the 106. Has anyone changed a timing belt on the 406 HDi? The Haynes book gives the 106 the 5 spanner rating, but I found it to be dead easy, after spending about an hour removing one cover bolt. Any comments appreciated.
