Dash message is telling you it's due Inspection 2 :y :y

As for the belt... IIRCC the only fiddly thing is getting the tensioner right :y :y :y

inspection 2 i assume thats a big service then? its gonna be serviced this weekend gotta change the sump gasket traced the oil leak to it seems nice and simple though

the tensioner does it need a special tool or is it good old nuts & bolts?
