The timing belt tensioner has just ceased on a willy engine of mine and broke into bits causing the timing belt to lose tension etc......
I was prob doing 20mph max didnt go with a bang or anything, at first i didn't think timing belt so i turned her over and all i got was starter motor noise n a grinding noise....
What am i expecting to find? could i be lucky and get away lightly??
