"Still like the car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Car has only done 27500 miles in 5 years been advised to have cam belt changed. After booking in for change told that cam rollers and tensioner require changing. This could also lead to the water pump required changing. Cost started at ?4.00 now it has risen to ?65. Is this known as piece of mind.

General comments?

It's well worth having the cambelt changed along with rollers and tensioner. My tensioner failed, resulting in 8 bent exhaust valves and huge inconvenience. Quoted £1500 for a new head, but I got one from a scrapyard for £100 and fitted it myself.
