Just to report all has been good with the rebuild no real issues except a slight vanos rattle on cold start up Whistle did some one ask why I didn't reseal them when it was apart.

The new crank shaft oil seal is also weeping so the plan is to replace that and pull the vanos off and replace the seals, only the drivers side has the rattle at the moment, my question is....do I honestly need the pressing tool iv read so much about or can I just replace the seals and refit ??.

The timing tool kit was an ebay special loads on there, I didn't buy the cheapest but turns out there all the same. The deep socket to remove the vanos solinoid didn't fit so needed machining until it did. None seem to come with the locking clamps that hold the cam locking tools in place but it didn't cause a problem.
