Its not to bad a job, I did mine last year. Get your chains, guides and tensioners from BMW as they were almost £100 cheaper than Vauxhall ;)

Just out of interest ... how do know when your timing chain needs replacing & what was your mileage?

If it's serviced regular then chains should do you a life time my tractor is 183k on the clock but ive changed the oil every 2000-3000 miles for the 2 years ive owned it.
Others will agree oil changes must be done 3500m MAX :y
