I had the cam belt fail on a citroen AX. Anyone know how much damage is

i have recently bought an N reg rover 416si and the clutch, or i
presume it is the clutch, is making a whining noise in second and third
gear, it has also become difficult to change gear and sometimes slips
out of third all on its own.

Anyone had a problem with the steering on the Vectra?
I've an 03 plate with 95000 and yesterday I noticed that there seems to

Recently acquired a 2001 VWT4 van.  It has 4 almost brand new
Continental Vanco Contact2 tyres fitted, type 205/65 R15 99 T RF.
