Hi guys,,finaly got the right car gr in red "verry nice" 2 owners and loads of history.
Anyway dont want to bore u to much with details,the timing belt was done at 46000 kms and the car has done 76000 now,so was wondering when it needs to be done again ,,guys have said at like 80000 miles,but its only done 31000kms since last change.

The belt isnt due for another 69,000kms I think! BUT how long in time since it was last changed as it has to be changed every couple of years (cant remember exactly how many) regardsless of milage.

Hey Mac,

No fear of that, details are good! Lots of guys here who'd be very interested to hear all the details of the car - any mods done to it whether they be filters, exhausts, body work, interior, etc etc etc! :D

Going on it being changed at 46,000km I'd say you should be fine for another while yet though.
