Cambelt gone GB270 damage?
Cambelt shredded but not completely snapped, happened at low speed pulling into petrol station. Photographs hopefully attached although this is my first attempt!
Likely damage? Worth putting a belt on and see as per some posts?
Likely cost to repair or cheaper to plonk a new engine in?
Also anyone Sussex borders decent rate £ to do the job?

Ha ha thanks for that and I do hope so not the climate for big bills!!
How would I best go about checking? Stick a new belt on and try and turn over by hand? Any help appreciated and thanks Peedee.

Remove the plugs and turn it over by hand if all goes well then line up the timing marks and fit a new belt. I got a set of Sealey locking tools when I did my belt.

Evening, thanks for the replies and advice. Sorry if sounding like a numpty but would you remove the plugs first and turn over with the remains of the belt or fit a new one before moving?
Agree re idler pulleys and water pimp but as above after I have moved by hand or with replacement belt? Wouldn't want to waste a lot of money on those extra parts if it's gone to pot or is that the risk I have to take?
Sorry and thanks.
Ps who does the best kit quality/£?
