On the 110 you will find the crank locking hole behind the starter motor, it's easier to remove it to get to the hole, but a long round bar the same diameter will do the job.

There is a how-to for the timing belt in the KB......viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8229

Evening team,

Does this kit have everything (and more than) I need for timing my 110 HDi.

£49 - what do you think? Save the cash and use a few bolts of my own etc?

Save the cash. An M8 x 30-ish set screw for the cam pulley and a choice of drill bits around 6 - 9 mm will do the crank end. (It's more convenient with the 'proper' tool, IIRC a length of 8 mm rod with roughly a 30 mm offset about 50 mm from one end, is easier to position betwixt starter motor & crankcase, but something straight will fit.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
