Thanks again
1.2 will be a timing chain driven engine so no belt to change.
the reason they are recalling an 05 car is because the camshaft snapping has been an issue for a while and can be a potentially dangerous problem due to loss of brake servo and PAS.They have finally admitted it is a !!!! up from engine plant after the camshaft cap bolts were not correctly torqued.0
