No special tools needed. Torx bits for your undertray.

Spanner (17mm from memory?) to release the aux belt tensioner, once the belt's off unbolt the tensioner (3 bolts) from the alternator and remove that angle bracket too.

Assortment of sockets for:

- unbolting the coolant reservoir mount (just move it to the side, the engine mount connects to the body below it.

- unbolting the lower and middle belt covers, the top just pops off with a screwdriver on the 2 clips

- unbolting engine mounts (easiest with a breaker bar)

Couple of extensions for the sockets.

Tipex to mark the timing on the crank, the cam pulleys are v clearly labelled anyways

Some hex bits for the aux belt pulley

And i think that's about it. The autodata guys do a cambelt cheat sheet for a few quid for this car.

Hope this helps

EDIT: circlip pliers for the belt tensioner
