Took my mx5 to get new alternator belts and power steering belt. Asked the garage to check that the cambelt had been changed for peace of mind. Had a receipt saying one of the previous owners had brought a cam belt and other parts. Kinda strange not to do the alternator belt at the same time.
Turns out the cambelt was fitted very loosely and other parts like the water pump were loose. The engine was a ticking time bomb to blow up luckily it didn't blow up. Surprisingly the belt didn't skip a tooth.
If you don't know what you are doing don't do anything to do with engine timing on your car.
The garage found some oil leaks on the engine with some pretty well documented videos and photos. Had to screenshot the videos though. 100% recommend fast eddy.
I probably won't have Mia the mx5 for about 1 to 2 weeks now. However my step dad is letting me borrow my trusty old Nissan Micra k11.
