Seems to be the Cam belt. A belt that was fitted in October last year and I've only done 1000 miles since then. Possibly taken other things with it, considering that it's a diesel engine. If it is, the garage will have to take full responsibility for this.[/i]
Bad luck pb, was it just a belt change that was done or were the tensioners and water pump done at the same time? If not then I bet the garage will try and wriggle out of it citing a seized water pump or tensioner. What car/engine is it? If it broke when attempting to start (the car was not moving at the time) then you might have got lucky. Some engines, despite being interference engines, have purposefully weak rockers that break instead of the valves being bent, which is a considerably cheaper repair![/i]
Altea TDI. And good point, I need to check what was done.

Too right pb. I know Ford belts have a life of about 100,000 miles but the timing belt is the same thing as the cam belt.

hmmm. DW. That's a name I've not heard in a long time.
GAD is still running (of a sort), you'll be pleased to hear.
