      While carrying out the repair and the camshaft carrier is off the engine, you need to insert both cam locking tools into the camshaft carrier to ensure both the cams are correctly timed relative to one another. You can't do this with the camshaft carrier on the engine, you can only get the exhaust cam locking tool in due to poor access.

      Before we get carried away here, what makes you think you've skipped a tooth on the timing belt?

      Hey bazz,
      
      So what happened was I was driving and notice my power steering kept cutting out, the aircon wasn't working and the check engine light kept coming on, anyways I stopped at a set of lights and notice smoking coming out from the timing belt area so I turned the car off straight away.
      
      Tried cranking the car after the smoke cleared and it just wouldn't start.
      
      Towed it home where I tried cranking it a few more times, again it didn't turn on.
      
      So I took the right front wheel off and the cover for the arch and notice black melted rubber everywhere on the auxiliary belt and also the crankshaft pulley (the damper failed). Also notice the belt had slipped halfway off. Took the timing belt cover off and notice chunk's of rubber sitting between the teeth of the timing belt. Cleaned it all out as best I could.
      
      So I replaced all that and had another crank and again it wouldn't start. So I check all the fuses and also the battery voltage, notice it was a little bit low so tried charging it which didn't really make a difference so I bought a new battery. Yet again tried cranking it and as you guessed, it still didn't turn on.
      
      So the only other thing I can think of is it's skipped a tooth or two for it not to be cranking over.
      
      What do you think?

      I have bought a kit similar to this one but unfortunately at like 10 times the cost.
