Oh its already been fixed
Bought an escort for £175 with a months tax, mot, got 1 weeks insurance and drove it to my mates where he swapped it over for me.
But yeah I was really pissed off when it went , I knew the belt on there was old so kept hoping it was something else.
When greenflag came, the first thing he did was recharge my battery (had a dodgy battery and thought what the hey might aswell listen to the stereo on full as im not going anywhere) looked at the cambelt cover and said "Oh it says its got a new belt on there so thats good" then I read the rest of it to him "New Belt: 4/10/04" hehe, the look on his face
I think he knew from then to get the winch out.
But yeah I just wanted people to know, as some say its a 50/50 engine if the belt goes, some say they are designed to not do any damage at all etc which gave me hope. But in my case, it done damage.
Oh, what also pissed me off was that I just put a full tank of sumpreme unleaded in it, done 18 miles then it went!
