Shouldn't matter but why not do all the parts collectively in the engine bay first then the other parts underneath the car or vise
Versa, save a bit of time and hassle jacking the car up more than once etc

thats true , i was thinking like no point doing the coolant before the timing belt because i have to remove the rad to do it, i think everything else is ok , oil etc, it wasnt cheap oil so dont want to waste it , think im going to get silicone hoses first aswell .

it would also be good to get the engine bay cleaned up and the bolt kit ive seen on here , i have to get started on this soon i cant just keep putting it off and buying more bits , or can i lol

I wouldn't change the coolant before doing the timing belt...

Just use common sense. If you're doing the timing belt, drain the coolant and remove the rad to give yourself good access, then refill with coolant once the belt is done.
