Original thoughts were dodgy belt, but it has come to light that a bolt I left loose, dropped into the cambelt covers and chewed up the belt, damaged the timing belt cog and damaged the guide plate, resulting in a shredded belt that lasted 1300 miles. No damage to crank/pistons/valves that I'm aware of. 16.03.15 Finally in the last few months I've found the time to strip the bottom down to the oil pump which I've replaced as I also had low oil pressure. Rear hubs have been replaced as well. Driveshafts will be replaced as well to cure rear end wobble. New cambelt will be fitted at the end of March. |
