Finding parts for the 32V is a significant challenge these days, with the tensioner roller being pretty much unobtanium. The FB groups are probably your best bet as new old-stock items turn up from time to time.
You need the cam and crank locking tools to hold the engine in time while you set the belt - Prestige (A8parts) have these which they rent out. You also need a replacement crank sprocket bolt and a ginormous torque wrench which can do some 400Nm. I borrow a five-foot-long 1" drive beast of a thing from the local tractor workshop!

Ah right ok so I haven't got to worry about the chains just the belt. Wow that's some torque I'll have to see if my local garage has one big enough for the job lol, it's a shame that most of the parts are so hard to get as really was want to get this old girl back on the road soon
