HI

The cars a 54 plate and milage had just gone 65k. I had a full service carried out when I bought the car, in hindsight I should have got the cambelt changed too!

Had it been changed before?

Had it been changed before?

NO. The service book just has the stamps but no details on a cambelt change. I was going to get it changed at 70k so bit of a shame it went when it did..

It needs doing every 4 years or 60k so no woner it went - it was over due by 2 years lol

If you want to sell it pm me some details

Doh! Was thinking the same thing when I read that.

I had a word with my stealer about this.

He said "80000km so that's 60000 miles"

Unfortunately 80k km is actually 50k miles......

OP -Sorry for your loss

PL

ouch sorry to hear that mate, fingers crossed you can salvage something from it
