Hi guys/gals,
Firstly, can anyone read this and tell me what it means. An educated guess tells me it means my timing belt was replaced at 80,000 on the 13/10/1997. In which case the low km import engine I have is not really low km , or it has been sitting around doing nothing for a very long time 

Now, what should I replace on this little fella? I'd rather spend a bit more money now than worry about pulling it out once it is in, but that said, I don't want to go over the top.

My current list is:
Timing belt
Welsh plugs
Rear main seal
Rocker cover gasket
Turbo manifold/dump/water-bypass gaskets
Water pump
Water pump gasket
Air con & alt belt
Water pump belt
Thermostat
Thermostat gasket
Oil and fuel filters
Timing belt cover gaskets
Intake/Exhaust manifold gaskets
All fuel and water hoses.
Newly added:
Cam seals
Front seals
Silver insulated hoses that go to and from the oil cooler
Clean and test injectors
Clean the ISCV and the TB
I was also thinking about replacing the idler pulley bearings, but they seem to spin pretty freely by hand.
Can anyone think of anything else, or a reason why I shouldn't replace something I have mentioned.
PS, I will drop pants for anyone telling me to search. I'm pretty sure a similar thread came around a couple of months ago, but the search offered no help finding this thread. I have also hand searched quite a few pages of the tech and coversions section.
Cheers,
Dave
