Yeah, they'd have to think for themselves, then! :rolleyes:  :angry:

Makes me mad - They just don't give 2 sh1ts about you & you're car.  You're just 1 more notch towards their performance targets/bonuses!!! :angry:

p.s.  You shouldn't have to tell them what's best to be done - They should be telling YOU what's necessary.

If anybody else doesn't know their cambelt history or got no receipts of work done by the previous owner etc, then get the belt, W/P & tensioners/pulleys done asap!

Gutted mate, sorry to hear it. £500 is a bit steap but when your knee deep in the brown stuff i suppose you don't really have another option!

I was half expecting me to be on the back of a recovery truck after the ECU issues, thankfully all was good.
