If a cambelt fails approx 15,000km and approx 12 months after replacement, the cambelt was replaced by the car yard when it was purchased as part of the purchase agreement.
Do i have any come back with the car yard.

The consumer guarantees act states that
•of acceptable quality – reasonable in look and finish, durable and safe.

I would approach the car yard first and let them know that the cambelt has failed so soon after it was replaced give them an opportunity to resolve the issue. they may have some claim themselves from the repair shop that carried out the work.
