What engine is it. A nova engine would probably cost about £100 at the most seeing as they are all about a million years old.

some engines have enough valve clearance that when the belt snaps bugger all happens... retime the engine and fit a new belt.. see what happens

or take the head off and have a look.. not gonna be hard on a 1.2 nova!
