Title: I Now Hate Fridays
Post by: fatusbloke on August 26, 2006, 07:12:31

Umm a little shopping trip into town after work,
nearly there and pop one snapped cambelt

AAARRRHHHHHH   pants :x

 But on bright side towed it home and wipped head off and looks like only damage is a nice set of bent push rods, no damage to valves, or pistons and for an engine on 236K it looks in very goood condition.
 Ahh well time to order bits up i supose, their goes my bank hol overtime earnings

Gutted for you mate, I know how it feels, same thing happened to me a couple of years ago on my Vectra. That little snap cost me a small fortune...!!!!

Bloody cars...!!!

Hope your back on the road soon
