Crankshaft pulley has two dots on its teeth (when you have removed the large pulley and left the bit the cambelt goes round), these line up with a dot on the block...
If you have lined up tdc then, iirc, you are about 90 degrees out...

the TDC mark is not correct, if you look further around the case in a clockwise direction you will find another single mark, thats the correct one
as above, just seen the last post

Would it be safe to drive? I've done a couple of miles in it already, trying to get it to a garage, but know I know it's the timing, I could do it at work. Just that work is a 6mile drive away, is it worth it?

I have some pictures somewhere of the damage the 120 engine I had received after 7 miles driving, timed to tdc by the previous owner... I had to replace the pistons because of it! So while I was there I replaced the liners too... not fun... then we dont mention the valves... lol
So imo no its not worth it...

where the pistons half way down the liners when you timed it up?

Hopefully the pistons were not moved without the head torqued down... so probably couldn't answer that question...

Yes, pistons were half way before timing, at least that's where they were once the head was torqued. I'll look for the other mark tomoz then and hopefully that'll sort it.
Just wanna say thank you to all you lot that have replyed and texted me, means a lot 
Still gonna be up for sale either way tho

Right, thank you for all of your help everyone, it is now fixed!! The timing was 90degrees out, which I've put right and it now runs and sounds perfect.
Unfortunately it's still up for sale. I'm looking for £750.
