If and it’s a big if the cambelt has slipped and you have got away with damage then to buy the bits for the cam belt change you will be in for around £400
Fingers crossed for you

Ha I heard what your saying 
I get carried away it’s just I do love her and it was such a shame I can’t actually believe it I was literally going to the end of my street in her and then she died literally no speed at all just set off it was weird I must admit she does turn over but she’s not deep at at on turn over but not fire she sounds weird I’ve attached a video

Hi
If there’s a mk1 engine being broken could I have the chaps mobile and name plz ? Much appreciated rob hasn’t replied as of yet and I need the car on the road ASAP
Turns out timing has slipped and I’ve ordered a kit and water pump came next day
I need to pre prepare myself for what else
I’ll have it serviced at the same time if the timing belts are being replaced etc
If you still have the car by September, then ill be in Preston university doing a degree in robotics 
Ive rebuilt my engine twice so i know my way around it quite well. If it lasts til then i can give you some help inbetween drinking myself silly.
Mine slipped a tooth over winter, just sat on the drive not doing anything, slightly bent all the valves in the rear head so had to rebuild it. Then a month or two later a water hose split whilst driving down the motorway and cooked my engine…cue another rebuild. Just started her again today, fingers crossed she’ll last at least a week or two lol.
Strange to have no compression on all cylinders. Even with bent valves i was still getting around 50-80psi
Does anyone have a phone number for the chap breaking the mk1 engine ? Thanks
Depends how badly the valves are bent. Back in 2008 or 2009 I can’t remember which. My power steering belt delaminated and wrapped around the lower Cambelt sprocket while driving. It jumped the belt by 5 teeth. I did a compression test and found 0 compression across the front 3. I didn’t bother with the back ones.
When I stripped the engine down I found I had bent all 12 inlet valves and cracked all 12 valve guides too.
