Excellent, I did mine the other day as well as cleaning the intake.

Now does anyone know how to reset the timing belt light on the dash?

Good tutorial, only things I would add is a wipe of grease between the lips of the camshaft seal, and I personally replace the tensioner and idler. It's just cheap insurance, if either let go and the belt jumps a tooth or two it may well cost you an engine. Also check whether the seal has cut a groove in the camshaft as the OE seals are Viton (I think, by the colour) and can cut a mean groove in the shaft. I may well use a nitrile seal next time (not as savage as viton, will wear a little more before the shaft does) and may have to space it out a bit in the cover.
cheers

Ah, sorry, but you haven't got either your location nor vehicle type on your profile, and my crystal ball is at the jewellers getting cleaned :-)
So... what is the actual model designation eg KZJ95, KDJ120 etc?
IIRC if you have a mechanical odometer there is a screw in the back of the instrument panel that has to be moved from one hole to another to extinguish the light.
