Hi, people!

I got the timing belt changed in October in a local garage, then a rocker snapped out 27 miles after I took the car out of the garage. The guys took the car back into the service and told me that I had to pay another £500 to get the cam follower replaced. When I took the car out of the garage this second time, it was running OK until last week, when exactly the same ting happened, with the only difference that the engine wouldn't start this time at all. I had to get them to take the vehicle back to the garage and check it once again. Now they come to me saying that another cam follower snapped out, and that they advised me to change them all the previous time (which they didn't). They are now advising me "again" to change all cam followers and want me to pay for the whole service, regardless of the fact that the labour and parts are still under warranty. They say that it is a "coincidence" that the parts snap out one after the other, right after I have changed the timing belt. The car was running perfectly before that (for 102.000 miles). I am only a woman and I don't know much about engines, but it doesn't seem right at all to me.

I spoke with a technician from RAC (the guy who recovered my car after it stopped running all of a sudden), and he told me that they have probably fixed the timing belt not right and that it is most probably their fault.

Can anyone tell me what might be the reason for what's happened and if I'll have to pay for the service again.
