took the car out today noticed instantly it was down in power.....heard a light squealing/rattling noise didnt get far from home turned her nursed home all of a mile or so removed my timing belt cover the circle tensioner wheel has collapsed which i can only guess has timing out slightly hence the response being down and noticed the car took an unusual amount of winding to start ,,,close call so new belt kit from pfv to be orderd and fitted so happy hasnt done any damage.....belt has been done on her can only assume cheap parts/not a full kit
