Re: what happened if timming belt not fit properly
if the engine has been run without this first being sorted it'll be kaput and cheaper to source another engine.

Is this the latest trend in filler caps, is painting the flap a different colour/ smartie sticker effect sooo last year.
maybe all you scoffers should have first asked this.
