Hi ben,
it depends on what damage has been caused, if the engine stopped straight away, you might be lucky and be able to just put a new belt on there, if the engine continued to move, the chances are its dead, all the valves will collide with the pistons and bend them all, Easier to get a new engine if this is the case (If you dont know what your doing with them)

We need more info really. Unless it's a V6 then I'd suggest just putting a new engine in

its the 172 64k stopped as soon as it happened. What else do you need?
Where did you source an engine for 200quid?

how old is the car were the belts due they should be changed when the cars 5 year old or at 72k which ever comes first my belt slipped and took out 8 of my valves warranty company replaced my timing belt plus replaced all 16 of my valves skimmed head etc got my car back last friday iv just booked it in to have aux belt done too cos that should be done as well

They did all that and didn't fit a new aux belt while they were there?????

If you look under his name, it says 1.6 16v
You wont get an F4R for that money in decent working condition. I think it's worth repairing rather than just swapping out the engine personally

I had both belts changed yesterday by Renault_wiz, (Ed).
And this is what we found on my Aux belt.
If you're having your cambelt done, my humble advice
is, get your Aux done too! I didn't at the last cam belt change
and I am soooo glad i have now had it done.
I felt sick when I saw this!!!!!
