Although I'm thankful for any advice there was nothing wrong with them before the cam belt was done I can't see why there would be now.

I'd rather avoid swapping out 2x £200 + parts if its just the cam belt being a tooth out as I asked.

Everything was fine before the change everything is fine now apart from the lumpiness.

Is there a way I can prove or disprove these things needing changing before I go out and spend 400 plus on new parts Just to find its a tooth out and could have been sorted for the cost of the labour.

Please don't think I'm second guessing your help I really do appreciate it I just wanna be sure, this care is gonna cost enough to sort as it is without just throwing part after part at it in the hope that might be the issue.

These V6 seem to be sensitive to overheating so it might have suffered some damage if coolant had leaked out and overheated.

Thanks i'll run a full check tomo and report back.
I've ordered both tools so will just have to wait till they turn up and book it back in
