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
