Cambelt change...what mileage?

Post by eyeball » Tue Oct 27, 2009 1:51 am

Just weighing up the best time to change the cambelt. It was last done at 38K and I thought it was about 40K(to be on the safe side) or after 5 years (which ever comes first) Whats the general period on these cars? :?

No need to reply. I was just being lazy when I posted this. I've since done a search and it seems I was pretty close. :roll:
