Hi all,
Last night I was driving along and the oil pressure light came on, followed by a bag of spanners sound a second later, similar to this:

The car shut off about 5 seconds later.
This morning I went to restart it and it won't start. When trying to start, the car sounds like it has no compression - see video below.
Not 100% on engine code, but it has 220 bhp stock. 112k, 55 reg.
Oil levels in the engine are fine.
A day before, a mechanic changed Cambelt, Cambelt tensioner, water pump, aux belt, and my right Headlight. Could these works be the cause of any of this, or is it a massive coincidence?
Is it possible the cambelt wasn't tensioned properly and skipped a tooth? If so possibly looking at valve damage. However, why would the oil pressure light come on in this instance?
Thanks
Jack
