my brother bought a corsa last week and it had the cambelt changed three months ago plus the was a sticker just inside the door saying it had been changed but as its only a five minute job i took the cover off to have a look at the cambelt and this is what i found, not good at all, its getting changed at a local garage that we use next week but a cambelt cant go this bad in three months can it? sorry for the essey

That aint right 
wouldnt even risk driving that. its either not been changed or could have been over tensioned.

a £110 timing belt kit with tensioners rolers etc from vaux is much cheaper than new engine
