hello chaps

Exactly a year ago i changed my cambelt when the car was on 101 thousand, a year later it is on 146k, what is the scheduled cambelt change and what do you guys reccomend.

I mainly (90% of the time) drive on motorways, on the inside lane doing 55-60 (cant be bothered racing about anymore and it does wonders for my fuel consumption, i assume this style of driving is better for general wear and tear

its and X Reg year 2000 90BHP HDi

Oil changed every 6k

Thanks!

Pretty sure the most common answer to this question is 72,000 - that's what I've read on here & what Haynes says.
(On my previous Xsara HDi 90, the recommendation was 100,000!).
