Oh dear, poor thing :(

It's an XUD much the same as the 406. However the 405 is pure mechanical injection, whereas the 406 has a basic ECU but fundamentally the engines are the same. XUD's are also found in many other vehicles. Would it not be possible to simply fit a replacement head to the 405? As far as I understand it a cam belt failure shouldn't result in piston damage. A head swap on the 405 is not such a bad job.
