Title: Cambelt question
Post by: jeynesey on March 03, 2011, 10:00:29 am

Right, there seems to be some argument over what the dealer suggests and what your owners book states???

Im coming up to 40k miles and 3 years old. Do I need my cambelt done now? I thought it was 60k and 4 years??

Cheers, Nick
