True, think invoice was from 2007 though.

Other problem is garage is over 200 miles away and the most expensive stretch of water in the world (99% sure of that)

Wasnt done by me, was done by a garage in London by previous owner. Was 'drivebelt' on invoice, no idea if gen parts or not.

Would that have been the cam belt, sounds more like the alternator belt.

From here Dave....

You need to confirm issue,

* Engine needs stripping down to gain view of cambelt, You could turn it over by hand but its pointless really you need to confirm the fault.

That needs checking first before moving to a resolution.

opened up cam cover and the belt is definately not moving when key is turned, but seems tight, how do i turn over by hand?

I have taken video but cant upload till 2moro as not at home, starter is definitely turning, so will be flywheel(?), but when i do that, 90% sure, its not moving pistons, just sounds like starter spinning?

Can be anything to do with starter as car was moving when cut out.

Going to send it down local garage soon just to have a look whats going on, and if i decide to do it, going to probably go 2nd hand head route if belt has snapped..

HELP!!!

if it's a whirring noise when turning it over just the bottom end will be spinning, you will be losing the compression generated through the open and possibly bent valves  :cry:

I'd go and have a look with you if it wasn't so wet and dark  :sad:
