Really sorry to hear that. Buying a car can be a nightmare, I've read so many horror stories. Hope it's sorted now and you get some value out of it.

Saves me having to ask, then :)

Tis a bummer but after the injector is done then all that's left is the cam belt. (Word to the wise, don't take it on face value what is written in the service book, check the bloody invoice if available)
What i thought was a good deal has ended up costing me more than what the car is worth by a couple of hundred quid.
Live and learn.

Never skimp on the cam belt, if it breaks most engines are toast. If the belt drives the water pump change that and the tensioner at the same time. They cost little but failure will be expensive.

Indeed as you say if the cam belt goes you are talking about a bill which could be into four figures because of the damage.

Service book said belt done at 38k (now on 43k) invoice (found after I brought the car) didn't mention anything other than oil & filters so I called the garage that had done the service, their computer says no!
Additional expense but your right if it's time, get it done. I'm looking at keeping the car for at least the next 5 years so it'll be booked in for the week after next. £250 I ain't got but.......
