i cant remember if we changed the belt when we done the head gasket or was it slighlty older ??
Mrcento said:true, because my car won't start at all due to not having a timing belt on it

Andi_F said:aye, you're Cinq does like to make you're life interesting
Mrcento said:well, new timing belt fitted (thanks to Daz for getting it ), car running a bit off but i think im either 1 tooth off or the nipple in the pulley isnt seated right.
anyway, i located exact reason why the belt went. you wont believe it. honestly, you wont......
the reason was................................
my drivers side suspension spring it turns out has snapped, a shard of spring flew into the timing belt and ripped it off. was too dark to get pics but i will next time im at it.....
seriously, im begining to have had enough of this. you couldnt make it up
oh yeah, and i found out the slight kink in the sill is far worse with side skirt off....its a full blown dent
what to do, what to do

Did the spring cut through the arches and timing belt cover ~~?? It is a really tight angle lol
Mrcento said:oh aye, anyone knpow where to get the black plastic sill trims?
