Timing chain/none starter

[paul6693]

Hi all bought a 2003 10l e for the other half to buzz around in and it has only done 29000 miles.very tidy little car and ran great for a few months then started with the cam sensor shenanigans so fitted new cam sensor and all was good for a while.yesterday it started again with the management light and rough running and now won't run at all .looking for a decent garage recommendation in or around the Manchester area ......much thanks

Well quick update got the timing chain kit off eBay for £111 (blueprint ) and towed it to my local garage tonight where they are replacing it on Monday for £200 which I think is very reasonable.

Job done runs like it should for 34000 miles...

£200 sounds a good price, was the eBay kit any good? My girlfriends 1.0 k12 seems to have the same issue! The thought of the price of labour for the job was putting me off massively!

Yes you must use the blueprint kit the garage confirmed that 112 on ebay

When the chain stretched did you experience bad mpg
