Thanks again W,the mechanic said the only way he can tell is by taking the head off,which he has done at a cost of £400 plus vat,said he could see no faults at all ,and will tell his boss tomorrow (was on a course )told him to check the belts again,he said it was £400 to take the head off,and pay again to put back ?,this car was running perfect and only done 39.000 miles and never missed a service,told them I did not think it was the head ,or crank,they still say the belt setup looks ok ?have not mentioned this sight or said I have had advice, I have worked on cars for 35 years and other peoples,but now unable due to very poor health and will never get better, but still have a good knowledge and know when im talking to a mechanic if he knows his stuff,but will talk to his boss tomorrow, but what can I do I know im going to have a big problem with them ,I will be back in hospital soon, trying to sort out for my wife,have been trying to explain to them but they have no intention of listening,as if im trying to teach them to suck eggs,but its us that has to pay,thanks again tony.
