2.0TD Cam belt failure. - Peter
At 117K and after only 35K miles my cambelt failed, the AA man reckoned it was a fault with a item driven by the belt perhaps the water pump, not the belt itself.

No matter, I now have a sad engine.

Can anyone tell me what damage to expect, valves and pistons etc.

Does the cambelt drive any auxillary items?

More to the point what shall I replace the car with?

Because the car is in very good condiiton would it be a good idea to have the engine repaired or a replacement sourced?

If the worse has to happen and I scap the car does anyone know of a recycler of Nissan cars in the Swindon/Bristol area?

Thank you one and all.
