Have the cambelt, tensioner and water pump done if you plan on keeping the car.

Tensioners usually come in a kit with the belt and a water pump is about £20.

Shop around all your local garages.

I got a good quote, £99 for cambelt change, plus £30 as needed alternator belt done as well and then £99 for full service. So it came to £290 done in the morning 2 days a later and cleaned...can get service just have to look around.

Good price for cambelt, bad price on alternator its a 2 min job and the belts are like £4, but at least its done
