I've a good step by step for an M20 timing belt, alternator belt and water pump change if you like, I did mine recently and I can even do you some pics.. and I can probably do you some pics and a description for an M20 chip change too! I'll see what I can rustle up during my lunch in the week..

Tom if you could do a detailed write up on the timing belt would be ace as this is something I plan to tackle on mine in the coming weeks.

With the M10 chain tensioner, are you after an article about the actual hydraulic tensioner or the whole lot, rails and guides?

I mean if you have an M10, what's the service procedure for making sure the chain stays tight?

There was a wiring diagram for the electric fan on here somewhere in the tech help section that i posted, it is the correct loom for a factory layout using the right fuse box pins.
Edit - here it is.
