Cambelt tensioner snapped this morning so time to drop a 1.6 in it i think.
Another problem swaying me towards getting rid of the thing

Well after further inspection:

Clutch has gone so im guessing thrust bearing has gone (been making abit of a noise for abit) and the the arm has gone through the clutch plate as the car juddered before it died. Then the jolt has sheered on of the roller bolts then causing the belt to come off.

Conclusion: Its dead
