Really depends how much faith you have in the car and garage to rectify the problem. If you feel they can repair it satisfactorly and you're happy with it keep it. If not reject it.
Given the hassel you've been caused surely they'd do the cambelt for you foc?

A cam belt is only a £20 or £30 and I would never fit a second hand cam belt back onto and engine.
They should fit a new one

i would think that to warrent the work they would fit a new belt, but not looking like it at the moment.
