Am I right in saying that the Cambelt needs changing every 60k or 4 years? Thanks.

Good luck with the search buddy, I wouldn't be to worried about the timing belt though, just had the belt and water pump done on my vRS, along with the fitment of a rev 'D' divertor valve, headlight realignment afetr fitting HIDs and a few other bits, got plenty of change from £300.  :happy2:
