esmerobbo - thank you. What sort of cost does this involve???

are you sure its not the cambelt (timing belt) slipped out of alignment people?

That usually makes a huge clunking sound and if you continue to run the car it can permanantly damage the engine and need a complete rebuild.

I replaced my timing belt this year cost under £100

Ah right.....so i'm pretty stuck then. What do you think i should do or what normally happens? do you just try and get rid of the vehicle as broken or spares?? so confused.

its done 67k and a 53 plate.

It really has zero value, forget getting it repaired. Bad money after good so to speak,

Looks dead to me... The 2 "Cogs".. The Cam wheels... They look like there twisted?... As not running true? What have they rubbed on? Looks like the mount from the pics unclear to see..

From the Pics it looks like the mounts failed and the engines possibly dropped towards the drivers side and the camwheels have lunched on the mount?

Engine looks as if its shifted forward and down on the r/h engine mounting. Does look like the mounting has collapsed. Repair cost would be dependant on why the engine mounting has collapsed, and whatever other damage it has caused!

If you got lucky at the least it would need an engine mounting, two cam sprockets, timing belt kit. And someone to fit them. However without seeing what else its damaged we can only guess!
