Oh damn, that's pretty desperate! I think I'll try to find a specialist to have a look over my car and see what they say. Thanks for the help people.

Sorry one last thing, the cars at 75000 miles and if the belts haven't been done how desperate is it? I really have no clue about cars. Thanks.

OK. cheers. I'll have a look into how much it'll be.
