Check for a torn up brake line.
You should be aware that a slipped or broken timing belt on the B230 engine is a minor repair. The engine is a non interference design engine which means that when the timing belts goes no damage can result, the engine simply stops. On other engines which are interference design a timing belt failure is catastrophic because valves and pistons collide.
Perhaps you need a hard talk with your mechanic about that and have him explain the braking problem.
