The "wet" timing belt is more likely to be a potential issue

Agree with Valer above. Mine is coming up on it's 4th service next month and out of warranty. However. a month ago I broke down on the M1. Got it back home and into Vauxhall who diagnosed the timing belt as the cause. It disintegrates in the oil and causes all sorts of issues. This happened on 37k miles. It's being done free of charge fortunately but it seems a lot of the 1.2 engines suffer this issue.
