AFN tools for Timing belt change?

[Andyb5tdi]

I've looked in the Haynes manual and it shows locking pins being used while doing the cambelt.

I've looked on ebay to be honest not sure exactly what I need.

Do I just need the locking pin like this?

Or do I also need a tool to lock the camshaft up like this:

Or do I need a kit like this?

No idea what the tool with the red handle does?

Any help much appreciated

at the very least you need the pin and the plate and some feeler guages.

No idea what the tool with the handle does either, perhaps it lets you adjust the tensioner?

If you have a pair of circlip pliers they can double up as a tensioner tool...
