not all engines hit when the cam belt snaps,an example of this old 8v vauxhall engines found in astra,,cavaliers etc when the belt snaps you can simply fit a new belt and good as new.
i havent got a clue about renault engines but its woth looking into it.
surley a second hand head is worth fitting if the car has got long mot etc?

The cam belt went in the mother in laws megane, and it trashed a good few valves. It is probably cheaper to get a new head from the scrappy or ebay.
