Any mechanics who can help???

I'm looking at getting motor just to knock about in, it's a Vauxhall Omega diesel on an X plate 2000 model automatic. Have these got the timing chain or have they got a timing belt? I know some models used the BMW engine and are bullet proof I wondered if this one had the chain?

Is it Tdi or Tds?
Tds is BMW and Tdi is Vauxhalls own. They changed to there own in 2000. (i think)
