I would assume it must be similar to the UK car.. my 96 UK car is specified at every 45,000miles or 3years (time I am not overly sure on, but know it is 45k).

Hope that helps?

No worries...

Belts are expensive but not as expensive as not changing them..

I think I paid over a £100 for the belt plus fitting... doh..

SIMON I'M A QUALIFIED MECHANIC. GET SOMEONE ELSE TO FIT YOUR CAM BELT IT'S A RIGHT B$£TERD TO DO. I DID MINE AT 40K!!!!

I'll second that, the garage that changed mine I used to work at and all three of them had to hold a belt wheel and slip the belt on

They are a really long belt and go right along the front of the engine..

Roughly 2metres long belt..

Interesting that it is suppose to be a non-contact engine then..
Is that a "they normally do no damage" or "they never do"?

I tested the theroy on a Toyota MR2 Turbo.. belt snapped at 95mph and did no damage.. was booked in to be changed the following week and was under the mileage but over the age..

I did mine,didnt think it was to bad to do,Ive done worse!!!!
Took the rad out,much more room.
Took 2.5 hrs.
Used small Snap-on brake pipe clamps to hold the belt around the 4 cams
