Am I right in that you removed front cover again and loosened the three bolts holding the fuel pump pulley?
Thanks

There's the access plate in the front of the timing case, for most it is the tensioner for the A/C belt, and that gives you access to the injector pump pulley.
So yes, it was a case of loosening off the 10mm headed bolts on the pulley plate and re-doing the timing.
I was using the shank from a masonry bit that is a pretty neat fit, and the belt had been wound over several times on installation, but it still needed a poofteenth more to get it advanced slightly and the holes and slots to be aligned perfectly after the engine was run for 10km.
I remember the engine felt the same when I first bought it and took it to a dealer for the belt change at 76,000km, it didn't quite have the zip of before.
Doesn't take long.
