Broken cam belt on recently purchased car

I bought a Daewoo Kalos from a dealer 10 weeks ago and the cam belt has broken. Where do I stand with the dealer is it to late to go back to him?

If you paid a proper retail price for the car then the dealer is liable. See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/faq/consumer-rights/

I own an 03 plate Skoda Octavia vRS and have, to date, been very pleased with it. However, six weeks ago at 74,000 miles, I had a cambelt change costing around £300. I had this done at the main dealership...
I am looking to buy a 2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.8 Sri Vendor says cambelt does not need replacing until it has done 100,000 miles as it has a Se engine. Is this correct?!
Can you tell me when I need to change my timing belt as I've only had the car for three weeks and its done 90,000 miles.
