**summeh** · 23-04-2005, 17:47

72k or 5 years (i think same as valver) but haynes recommends 36k, as would i if u thrash it regularly.

Reno say 72k or 5 years, most people I have spoke to suggest 36k or 5 years to be on the safe side.

5 years if it doesnt hit that milage seems to be ample... the previous owner of my car didn't do any miles at all, thus only got to about 60k on the clock when the cambelt snapped and expensive engine rebuild... still the original cambelt and it was 11yrs old !!!!

cheers dudes! had mine done (as per old paperwork within the history of the car) at 72k now on 93k and that was done 3 years ago! so plenty of time as yet!
