I'm guessing the cambelt snapped - in which case, get it fixed and back on the road.

Can we have a "Dead 6/Rallye" register to see the rate at which these cars are slowly being wiped out?

It would appear from the thread in Parts For Sale that the aux belt shredded and cut through the cambelt cover and chewed the cambelt. Sad

No, the cambelt didn't snap, the Aux belt shredded itself, somehow got sucked in through the cambelt cover, caused the cambelt to jump teeth, and bent valves. I dont have the time to get the head rebuilt, i just need it off the driveway ! Visually the cambelt looks fine, no stress marks etc but the timing is badly out so yeah game over Thumbs down

To a lot of people, they are a cheap disposable car so a lot get scrapped for whats a potentially easy fix. They've just hit that price range. However, it does sometimes give bargains to keep the others going. Smile

Brand spanking new and he's gunning it?! LOL

I wasnt referring to your car exactly. Just ive noticed them being broken for silly things. One was for a bloody knackered clutch for example.

Sort of what happened to my 307hdi recently. Auxbelt frayed and some how feed itself in through the cambelt case and the aux wrapped itself around the pulleys. Snapped the belt Just one of those things cambelt wasnt even due either. 700 quid later she was back on the road i had to fix it because is my family wagon. But in your case i reckon just drop another lump straight in it. There cheap enough these daysThumbs up
