    Give them a call now lucy, at the very least they'll be able to give you an idea of when they'll know.

    Me to!!! I echo everything you say!

    Any idea when I should call the garage? The opened at 8 and I haven't heard anything!!
    I would say if you haven't heard anything by about midday it might be worth calling... they've got to assess the damage, figure out how to fix it and whether it'd be viable to fix it at all if the damage is severe.....

    You are not a screw up... remember I've been there and come out the other side so I speak from experience when I say it's not you talking it's the low feelings... you're not a screw up... you're just having a low point and you'll be back to yourself in no time... just don't beat yourself up over stuff you can't help. :) If you can get in to London on the 23rd fancy meeting up for a coffee?


    Thanks hon x

    Yeah I'd love to meet up, what time are you getting in? And to what station? I could meet you there.

    Hi everyone. Hey Luc, that sounds bad although it does depend on the engine design. A vectra engine is designed in such a way that when the belt snaps the damage is not terminal but I would imagine it is not good news. If you were stationery there a higher chance that the damage caused would be less than if you were moving but nevertheless it would still be significant. If it is more than the car is worth you must consider 2 things; 1. You know the state of your current car and what is wrong with it and how how it would be likely to cost you in routine mainteanance over the coming year or so or 2. Buy another car but you would in a situation were you do not fully know the material state of the new car and would therefore be at the mercy of it. Tough one but I have got my fingers crossed for you. GF

    That's the thing, I'm not sure if the belt has snapped, it just looked like it had gone all floppy but was still attached to the cog thingys (it just wasn't sitting on the teeth)

    Anyway on a positive point, OH had is LBM on Friday night.
