hello phil,
quick answer to your question 2.8 d. has a timing belt, its not a cam belt as we know it on a more modern car its fitted behind the cover where the cooling fan is.
it's quite easy to do took me about 2 hours.
hope this helps,

If it 1986 it will have a timing chain not a belt.
If the timing gear cover is aluminium its a chain ..I think the later belt driven veicles had a plastic timing cover.
I am almost certain that all earlier tracks were chain driven.
