Last one I did had 14 bent valves and 8 cracked guides. So £100 just for head work

im willing to bet it will have bent at least 12 valves.

Repair bill could be anywhere between £500 and a grand depends on what route is taken!

im not sure what revs the car was at, im guessing i was doin about 30mph so maybe 2.5k. all i wanted was a rough price as to how much it could cost me and what might need changing.

No, but I think that in translation that sentence is supposed to say:

My cambelt has smapped. How much do you think it would cost to repair this. On another note, how much would it cost to replace the engine with a 1.6 16v engine in case the cost of the reapir is so great a new engine is required.

Though the English is very bad so it's hard to make out.

It could also be an 8v engine which only needs the engine re-timing and the belt replacing.

That would depend Ry_B. If the belt snapped at 5000rpm then there could be holes in the engine. If it snapped at idle there could only be 3 or 4 bent valves.

Getting a new/replacement engine will probably be the cheapest option.

Most/all the valves will probably be bent.
