Normally we encourage you to change your cambelt to avoid something like THIS happening to you, however don’t waste your money, if it has been done within the last 36,000 miles or 3 years (up to 60,000 on newer vehicles) it probably doesn’t need doing. Vehicles over 5 years old or 60,000 miles without recent tensioners are recommended to have tensioners and cambelt, called a cambelt KIT - no extra labour charges.
