The question
The timing belt has snapped on my 1999 Opel Astra 1.4: just put on a new belt or put the car in the bin? Interference or non-interference?

Hi Eamon,
Bad news, I'm afraid - that engine is interference, so it's highly likely that damage will have occurred. Best to have a compression test done on all cylinders before deciding what to do next.
