2003 Clio sport timing belt

Could anyone tell me which timing tools are critical on these engines for a belt change?
An experienced mechanic will be doing the job, I understand tools from the likes of laser and Sealey are not up to the job?

I have timing tools from both never had any issues with them. Of the two I would say Laser seem the better quality but both are up to the job.

Any ideas which kit is needed for the tools?

It depends on which engine you have you may need the engine code. Euro car parts will probably be the best place. Or even Ebay as the sellers normally list all the vehicles the tools are applicable to. I think there are also Ebay sellers who hire the tools out which may be a better option.
