cam belts
how often should you change the cam belt on a 1994 (uk) imp turbo,and approx how much is a new belt?, my last belt cost me £109 fitted (6years ago) since then my car has done approx 45k ,86k in total, below average ?

i think the intervals for cambelt change is every 30k so if urs was 45k ago yours well overdue! i just had mine done and the belt cost about 70quid and 40quid to fit. while your there might aswell change the other drive belts too as they have to come off to fit the cambelt.
also the tensioner and pullys should be looked at. not sure how long tensioners last but worth changing with the mileage you have on there.
