Right - Update time again.
Jim came round this afternoon to have a look, he couldn't start it, but did connect it up to Tech2 which reported an error in the cam timing which, based on what symptoms I described, he suggested that indeed the belt had slipped.
It did not appear to have caused visible damage, and the fact I was only going about 10mph when it went was encouraging. He did suggest that there was an outside chance that it might just need a new belt,rollers etc but this was very very unlikely.
So... over to the experts, what are the next steps in the head change party?
Cheers
Merv
PS. In case anyone still thinks that main dealer servicing is a good thing, Jim was fairly appalled at the state of basic things under the bonnet, corners cut a plenty!!
