Unless I'm mistaken , if a timing belt goes on ANY car it WILL damage the engine. If you whack the clutch in and stop immediately you may limit the damage. Timing belt change intervals vary. Halfords or eBay haines manual £13 new will tell you what the correct timing belt change intervals are. usually 30-60 K miles depending on make. I would never risk it... unless we're talking old banger. On a US market 960, you will have major damage if your timing belt breaks. The engine is what is called an interference engine. The scheduled replacement interval is 70k. If the last replacement is in question, replace the belt.

Is engine ruined if timing belt on 1986 Volvo 740 gle snaps?
Not mine , I was doing about 70 when my belt broke . It took me 4 hours and $20 to know for sure boy how aggravating not knowing if my valves were bent or not. The good news is that my volvo with 345,000 miles fired right up when all work was complete. 24mpg and no payments.The above answer may be true for that owner but I do not see how it is possible. The 1986 Volvo 740 GLE 4 cylinder is an interference engine and as such if the cam belt breaks you will almost certainly have internal engine damage. The belt should be changed every 50,000 miles.
