So if the cambelt only slips not breaks a new belt will fix it.  ;D

Budget for potential valve damage if it's moved more than a tooth or two...

The loss of power could be down to 2 things valve timing out or the engines fooked (read with a Clint Easwood stylee voice) "do you feel lucky punk" :-?

if it needs a new belt, why does he not replace it!

Bet it had a new belt but no tensioners...

I think if you got away with just a belt kit it would be the week to have a flutter on the lottery, coz yer luck must be really in.  ;D

Car itself is more than likely just good for parts now.

I'd be tempted on the wheels though as I have seen a lowered green omega around my area and it looks quite nice with those wheels on.

Just my opinion :)

Banger rally?

Masterfit didn't say the belt would fix it, they said it had slipped, hes assuming (wrongly) that it will fix it!

You almost seem suprised at the utterances of a Masterfit "technician" ;)

Its a shame the seller is selling it whole as I would have been happy to take his drivers rear door for mine no problem as the bodywork looks to be in good condition.
