Question 1990 G Plate Mazda MX-5 (Eunos Roadster)

Wonder if anone can help?

My missus has the above car Due to it's age and number of previous owners she doesn't have much of the documentation and it's come around to MOT time!!

The car itself has only done 71k km and when she last had it serviced (Feb 2005 at 66k km) the mechanic said that she would be advised to have the cam belt done at the next service.

I've kind of suggested to her that even tho she hasn't done much mileage in it, she should get it serviced when the MOT is done.

Can anyone advise as to whether the cam belt should be done as well?

Cheers

Andy

I do it anyway when i buy anything of that age. For what it will cost to do it gives you peace of mind.

Sure. Just get a quote for repairing an engine after a cam belt has snapped. That should give you all the advice you need
