I am changing the timing belt on my 2002 Citroen Relay 2.2 TD Hdi but I need to find top dead center, firing order and the timing marks. Would you have any info available?

To find tdc put #1 up to compression stroke with glow plug out and there should be a mark on the crank pulley that will have a mark on a corresponding piece on the engine either a mark or 0.take the plug out and when you feel the compression coming up slowly get it to top and that should be tdc, you can confirm with a flashlight.
