I have just bought this car and the fella i got it off said it had bin stood 4 16 months and it just needed a battery when i looked in to it i found the camshaft had snapped.This is a diesel car and don't know whats best to do so if someone could give me a bit of advice i would b very grateful thanks.

you need to find out how the cam snapped!
Could get very expensive to repair depending on above.If it was doing any speed when it broke valves,pistons could all be bent.sometimes cheaper to drop recon engine in!
