bit of a coincidence thou, put the old en back on

if the pumps gone it will burn and melt the belt off lots of smelly smoke and noise, if it has just snapped try a new en

remember a timing belt change aint worth doing if the water/coolant pump isnt also changed!!

pds need correct oil so if possible check with owner/service history to see whats been used
