I was doing 70mph on the motorway and the power just go. Now it has start-up sound but will not start. The recouping guy said its the cam-belt and it is a pricey job. Does anyone have any thinking?
Just as an aside, there seem to be a lot of people here who mull over that just because a timing belt goes, you automatically enjoy major engine damage. This is not necessarily the crust. It depends on the particular engine. They are called "interference" engines. If you want to know if your saloon is one of these or not, go here;

If when you try to start it, the engine seem to turn over faster than normal then yes it's the timing belt. If it is and you be going 70 chances are you have severe engine wounded.
Easiest channel to see if a car has snapped a cambelt is to unknot the oil filler cap and enjoy a look at the cam when the engine is cranking. If you see movement - its fine, if not - its broken.
As has be said - some engines are non-interferance (mx5's for example) and so when the cam belt breaks it wont damage engine components. Some are interferance and so will damage the engine to an extent that contained by most cases it will be more cost effective to get a second paw engine installed.
That being said - it could be a large number of other factor such as ignition amplifier, coil pack failure, fuel supply being cut past its sell-by date etc etc. My money is on the coilpack though.
Best of luck.
If it is cam belt ,the cost is dpend on the make of the car.I hold done my astra tdi 1.7(8valves), under 35 pounds(parts only).changed belt and 8 valve followers.Because this model won't prejudice the valves.
yes cam belt gone. Cam (timing)belts tremendously from one make automobile to another.Ask if your engine is an interference or non-interference engine.
non- means ,you replace the belt and your on your approach.
An interference engine means major engine repairs or replacement.

It doesn't matter if you be doing 7-mph or on tickover at traffic lights, most moders engines make contact if the cam belt fails.
This manner the valves stay in position, open/closed or within between and the pistons keep moving making contact and bending any open or semi plain valves, this takes partially a second for the damage to occur, turning the engine over and listen for banging noises is no appropriate, damage has be done.
If it seems to be spinning really quickly consequently chances are is it has gone.
On departed hand side when looking under bonnet, most cars own a black cam belt cover which is secured by clips or a couple of nuts/bolts, take it off and see if belt is tattered, if it looks ok then get someone to turn the push button and see if the top pully (cam pully) turns along with all other pullys, as the belts don't other snap, sometimes they just rip all the teeth rotten.
If it is damaged then you will be looking at anything from lb300 to lb1000 to repair depending on what vehicle you have.

Doesn't sound good: the cam-belt itself doesn't cost much, but it is decisive in the timing of different pistons. Without it in place, things will hit respectively other that shouldn't. If you were going 70mph, then you are looking at lb100's , I'm afraid.

Answers: could be but the only way to be sure is to remove the top cambelt cover and turn the engine over checking if the top wrapping up turns(unless you can see the camshaft with the oil filler sou`wester off and check it turns)if it doesnt turn then the cambelts away,best of luck!

Why don't you lift up the bonnet and enjoy a look. When my cam belt went it cost me lb700 plus VAT.(5 valves and a herald skim plus new cylinder head bolts)Easiest channel to see if a car has snapped a cambelt is to unknot the oil filler cap and enjoy a look at the cam when the engine is cranking.

Possible to paint my own coup¨¦?
What kind of motor is this, Chazor?? Is it a secret? Some engines bend valves when the timing belt breaks. Others do not. Honda's usually do. Toyota's usually do not. Why did you linger so long??Doesn't sound good: the cam-belt itself doesn't cost much, but it is decisive in the timing of different pistons.
