I dont know if anybody ever experienced a snapped cambelt within the 6 years or 150.000km or 90.000miles. I would like to know if in such cases this was sorted under warranty.
I remember there was one car, a Ford I think(?), where the recommended interval was 60Kmiles of 6 years. So many broke within that interval and so many engines wrecked, that they had to reduce it to 4 years/40K.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
