Incredibly lucky escape, though I wont relax until Farnells LR Leeds have put a new belt, tensioner etc on this weekend and confirm no damage. I dare not risk driving it there so have booked an independent recovery truck for tomorrow morning.
My FCR is not showing any faults now so I am keeping everything crossed. I am presuming if there was any damage it would have been obvious through noise, DTCs etc.
To time it back I locked the cams in the safe position and slowly rotated the crank to my previous mark. With the old belt put back on and tensioned, I slowly rotated the crank 2 revolutions and then re checked engine faults for cam shaft sensor issues that were there before. Thankfully there was nothing so I new it was somewhere near.
It makes me wonder whether the TDV6 is an' Non interference', otherwise I can only think that as the tensioner flew off at low speed, the error picked up by the camshaft sensors shut everything down in time, including the handbrake.
I think I will get Farnells to do an oil/ filter change whilst they have it, just incase there is any swarf in there.
Off to get a handful of lottery tickets
