A couple of weeks ago I had a service where they replaced the timing belt, pulleys and seals.
3 weeks later my car broke down and a different mechanic found that the pulleys on the timing belt had melted causing my engine to have a major internal failure.
I have now been told I need to get a new motor. Was just wondering if anyone new of a rough figure for an engine rebuild or for a 2nd hand motor.
Thanks in advance
