Hi there,
Sons partner driving car, stalled/cut out apparently and coasted to a stop.
AA called and said cambelt has gone and towed it to home address

Is that likely to be terminal, as in valves and pistons meeting together or is it fixable ?

 

[reliable406]

Terminal yes definate bent valves

fixable also yes though as you can either buy a good head or strip down and replace the valves in the one you have a good used head probably quickest option though or even a whole used engine !

BEFORE you do anything though i would check they are correct as the recovery services generally dont put much effort into checking things.

...cambelt snapped... gloom. Been there not nice. Can you tell us how many miles the vehicle had when the belt snapped? I know mine will need doing soon, and think 80k might be the time although I realise any time soon is the right time.
