A few years ago I had our modern serviced by the main dealer which included a new cam belt. A few days later Sue was out in it and phoned me to say the ignition warning light was on and the steering was heavy. I told her to phone the AA as I suspected the auxiliary drive belt had broken. My diagnosis was correct and the AA towed her to the main agents. In the morning they rang me to tell me the auxiliary drive belt was broken and they changed it. I asked if they had checked the cam belt to which they said no it will be OK to which I replied check it and if it's damaged you replace it at your cost, OK was the reply. I arrived at the garage just as the cover was removed to reveal a damaged cam belt.
