  • So near and yet.....

    So there was me and 2 of my dogs returning from Devon when I hit the M25 car park! Crawled round to j22 thinking only 30 miles to home when the engine cut out on tickover,turned the key briefly and it did'nt sound "right" so managed to roll to the hard shoulder. We got recovered home in 1 1/2 hours and I had'nt run out of fags so lifes not all bad!
    I managed to talk to the extremely helpful TonyN and the view was that it was the cam belt which I confirmed by pulling the front cover off. The B*****D thing had apparently been changed with the head under warrenty just before I bought it but I've got a feeling they only looked at the belt and cut costs by not changing it( 40,000 km!!)
    Anyhow, TonyN's going to try and sort it on Monday by fitting a new belt and I'm just praying that it has'nt knackered the valves..... To be continued
    A positive attitude wont solve all your problems but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort!

    Fingers crossed for you KEEF that the valves are NOT THAT NEAR and yet FAR ENOUGH AWAY for it not to have done any damage.

    I am surprised no one has posted with thoughts on wether damage will have been done or not! So it will be very interesting to hear the out come.

    At least you know you will get a good deal off Tonyn, just be carefull he does not condem your FLUX CAPACITOR!

    Good luck mate.

      Paul.
      He did mention it but I'm also hoping that i've managed to escape without having to replace that as well!

                        you would have heard the valves hitting the pistons... if it just cut out then should be ok... what did the invoice for work say?... cam belts are guaranteed so take it to your dealer and get them to have a look, OR get an engineers report and claim from them that way.

                          I dont think Keef will have any come back on the company as he was not the person who had the work done.
