ouch. any idea of the damage?

As for me, I bought 2 genuine trail arm bushes today! that's about it.

removed the EGR valve the other day (was electrically disconnected, but still hooked up to the manifold and vacuum hose). What a difference removing it it has made though, despite the fact that it was already unplugged from the electrics! Quieter, smoother, more powerful (slightly)... at least I think it is...

im hoping the damage is just pushrods but its a new genuine cambelt last year

so dont know why it would have gone find out tomorrow

Stripped my door down to replace the glass smashed in the break in. Only to find somehow they had broken one of the plastic sliders on the end of the regulator and as i don't have a spare its looking like having to get a brand new one at £50.
Not happy.

well ive got my snapped cambelt out and turned out it was tiny stones coming in from the drain at the bottom the tiny sharp stone got inside the belt causing it to rip also bent 3 pushrods both tensioners are buggered too
so a word of warning if you go through puddles make sure you plug in the drain at the bottom of the cambelt case
