The "alot of noise" should tell you. This is an interference engine and if you didnt immediately dip the clutch the moment it died then i'm afraid you will probably have a scrap cylinder head rather than afew bent valves. Sorry.

Possibly take it into yur local Nationwide Autocentre (formerly Lex) as they don't charge you anything for looking and giving you an opinion of what's required. Nothing to lose.
