Is it diesel or petrol. Either way thought its probably hit the valves with the pistons and bent them. Either buy second hand head or replace the valve if you think th car is worth it?

To be honest it doesn't matter when the belt snapped because it will have caused some damage to the valves in the cylinder head or possibly napped the rockers if your lucky.
If you want to check the timing its quite easy to do so and withount going into detail on here its easiest if you can obtain a haynes manual for it - but again my genuine advice is to put the money into a new car? Plenty of bargains to be had at the moment - example my mrs has just picked up a fiat punto 60sx (1.2) on an R97 with 47k on clock, taxed and tested, for a measley £400 quid to get her around while i've got the job of sorting out her beloved astra coupe.
