Peter the plumber

Thank you. Would you know roughly how much? Thanks peter

No I realise it's an engine rebuild....

Hi. Thanks for reply. I took the car to a local reputable garage. I couldn't tell you if they were original parts or not. Even so, should it have lasted more than 12000miles? Regarding the tensioner you mentioned... it's not listed on the invoice/receipt as being changed im going to ring the garage tomo and see what they say. Just a bit annoyed that we have these things changed to prevent things like this happening and it happened anyway. It's like paying twice! regards peter

I had my timing belt, water pump and alternator belt changed in 2014 with 75000 miles. It has now broke/snapped with 87000 on the clock. Is this normal? What would cause this? It's the wife's car who don't go far or does excessive speed. The power steering pump was done last year, could this have caused it? Confused as I don't do engines at all. Just need s heads up what to au to the garage when I ring them to come fetch it. Many thanks in advance
