Hi
How do you know that the cam belt is okay, you cannot see it without dismantling some of the covers.

Elite now gone.  Bought an X-Type 4x4.  If there had been an Omega 4x4 I would have bought that instead.  We really liked the Omega, but I wanted 4x4.

If it jumps one or two teeth on the cam sprocket you lose compression and the engine loses power or fails to start. (probably no nasty noises)

If it jumps three or more (or snaps) then valves hit pistons and it gets messy. (probably with nasty noises :()
