Just wondering at what milleage should you change your cambelt. Is it every 60,000 miles and 5 years?
Just looking back over my receipts my first change was at 59,000 over 5 years ago. Car has covered 155k now
Should i be worrying? Car is due a full service next month so i think i may get the belt changed then as well.

It's every 96000 miles - not sure about years (I think it's 7 - don't have my book to hand) but 5 years would be reasonable.

my advise is better safe than sorry I always change my cambelt eigther when I buy the car or 60,000 miles been stung with the dreaded cambelt snapping before and it wasn't a pretty sight.
