I did my timing belt just after a bought my car and did not use any special tools - I had to modify a couple of spanners and sockets to get into tight spots but that was about it. Haven't done a oil pump gasket though.

I never found it and on other forums people have had the same problem. It is supposedly just below the crankshaft sensor.

I locked the camshafts and did the belts making sure the crankshaft did not move - I marked it at various points so that if the worst happened I knew where it should be.
