Hi there
I’ve just got back home from being towed from the AA. (I gotta say they were fast getting there, less than 15 mins) However, it is clear that the CAM belt has gone.. I'm expecting most the valves to be gone and significant damage to the pistons too.
Has this happened to anyone else’s Valver? What would i be looking at to get it fixed back up, i don't have the time to do it myself unfortunately. So I’m curious what people here have had to pay, so i know what garages are taking the piss if not all of them.
Would it even be worth looking around for a replacement engine to get dropped in instead or is that going to cost the same with the extra hassle of locating one?
Also can anyone recommend a garage in the Camberley, Farnborough Aldershot area that they might have had any luck with?. Every garage I have been to locally in the past there has been something with the work that has put me off ever going back to them.
Any help would be much Appreciated..
Thanks..
