Cambelt/timing belt change on 1.3 sportif

[d-a-n]

Recently bought an R plate sportif which is coming up to 54k. It didn't come with any service history so I don't know if the cambelt has ever been changed. The car has power steering. What is required to change the cam belt and do I need to go for the whole timing belt kit or just the belt itself? Does it take very long and are there any forum members who might lend a hand?

i allways go for a full kit, as I've had tensioners fail before, so i allways replace the whole lot.

cam belt on a starlet aint too bad, as you only have one cam wheel,
