Hi everyone, I have the above vehicle 63 plate, 73492 which cut out on me at 60mph whilst on dual carriageway, local garage advising timing belt snapped, which is not due by time or mileage recommended by Ford,  it is going to be confirmed by Ford, I’m just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, I’m a keyworker and rely heavily on my car, so stressed sorry for rambling on! 
 

Thanks In advance
