try moving the power steering pump, they would of removed it to replace the belt surely?
Doesn't look too far off, when i had the pump on i remember it going like that, just moved it.

not talking about that kev that is fine. If you look at the timing belt cover you can now see into the bottom crankshaft pulley.

Hopefully a quick fix

thats definitely not on properly. has the main crank pulley bolt been out recently? get it checked to make sure its tight. if that comes off bye bye valves etc.

Found out today that the timing belt tensioner kept slackening off somehow. The bolt kept coming loose. It was put back together and when turned over the bolt would slacken off. Tried a new bolt at first but the same thing happened.
so have ordered a new tensioner today and will be here tommorrow. Lets hope it goes ok

sometimes the covers make it impossible to say if it looks straight or not. if anything, to me it looks exactly the same. same kinda angle on the belts as before.
