Thank you Helen

Rich, the bottom pulley has stripped the cam belt of enough teeth for it to stop the cmas from turning !! I replaced the belt roughly bout April/May, so wasn't old, but I have heard this happen before, maybe a fault with the bottom pulley ??

Deffo some bent valve's tho !!

My problem now is, I can't afford to fix it !! After gettin Kirstie the M3, thats me wedge gone for large amounts of spending !! And I don't wana jus whip the top off, replace whats damaged & chuck it back together as I'll be in the same bout as now where she's not runnin right or 100%, and I jus know she'll never get mapped cos I'll always wanna drive it !! so the thought process is, let someone repair & then map it at the same time, do it once ya know ??

Now Kirstie (bless my princess), is beggin me to sell what we need off the M3 to raise the wedge for the Cossie, but I got the M3 for her, I seen her so excited bout it now & jus can't take it away from her !!

So I dunno what to do, it'll take well into next year to get the Cossie back on the road as most me wedge is accounted for now (Cossie funds have deminished, as I spent to much already on her) & depending on the severaty of the damage could be quite an expensive job, includin mappin, big wing sump & air injectors.

Plus the Cossie's supposed to be a cheap "ish" toy & I don't want this to get outta hand like my old Saph !!
