Hi everyone!
I purchases my first car last September (2011, 1.2, 60k Miles), and it came with full service history.
I recently got a new job which meant that I went from driving the car 30 miles a day to only weekend use for the last 8 weeks.
I tried to start the car last week and it juddered and turn off, after an inspection from a friend it looks like the timing chain is gone!
Am I better replacing the timing chain or going down a second hand engine route?
Would love your opinions and what potential costs could amount to for each option!

Without knowing the full extend of the damage, it's quite difficult to advise on the right course of action.

Many thanks for your reply!iichel wrote:Without knowing the full extend of the damage, it's quite difficult to advise on the right course of action.
As I’m pretty useless with cars, what would I need to look for to determine what route to go down?
Cheers!
