Lucky today
I think anyway.
Went to start the car and it did'nt start first time, second attempt it turned over and then made a horrible noise from the engine.
After a little investigation I discovered that the cam belt tensioner spring had come adrift and pierced the cambelt, it was trying to rotate with the belt Smile Huh
The belt was very loose and had jumped a couple of teeth, I expected that but I had not expected the small stud that the tensioner pivots on to have come out completely.
Anyone care to suggest a series of events for what happened here ?
Lucky ? Just a new belt and spring needed.
