Just to be clear: The 1.8 is an interference engine, i.e. with cam belt gone or teeth stripped the valves fully open will get bent by pistons? So as a minimum top end rebuild?

Yes I believe so, at least the KV6 is. One sign of top end damage that I've experienced is that the engine turns over on the starter very fast (no resistance).
If you've viewed Einar's posts you'll see he's done a complete rebuild including head. He might even have a replacement cylinder head as I remember he bought several "scrap" engines (ex-Freelander). Time to examine that cambelt. Good luck ps I see you've found your way to the Norwegian group and been offered a cylinder head, hopefully Einar will see your post but he's not as active as he once was.
