UK 2001 (51) Focus 2.0l Zetec

Sods law really - car booked in for service next Tuesday but sudden loss of
power this evening. RAC chap suspected the cam belt but the belt was still
intact. His next thought was perhaps it had slipped. Anyway he towed it
to my local garage where I usually take it - not a Ford dealer, but a
reasonable standard though. Car has done approx 75K miles.

They are going to take a look at it tomorrow.

Fearing the worst, anyone have any opinion if this is worth repairing -
approximate likely cost. How about a replacement reconditioned engine.

Any advice gratefully received

cam belts change interval is 100k on focus's... surprised its failed so
soon.
can't tell you anything else though, hopefully if the belts slipped then no
damage to valves.
Let us know the outcome when you know please.
