Ok as regular readers will know I recently had an engine seize, suspect as always cambelt, but had been told it had been changed approx 20,000 miles ago..... was it the truth?? Yes!! probably was as the cam-belt looked good and healthy.... what was not good though was that the mechanic who fitted a new oil pump for me a couple of months ago had not tightened the bolt on the shaft properly, and that came lose, upset the timing and caused the seizure.
Am I able to claim any compensation from them? I have now had to spend a little under £800 to have a replacement engine, new clutch, new water filter, cambelt kit auxbelt kit shaft bearing, oil filter, thermostat (ie all that you would want to replace while undergoing engine change).
I am very interested in peoples opinions as to be honest I have no confidence at all in it being worth even trying.
