What's the life on the DMFs and the Nivomats like?

Hi Sam, I think the cambelt is 10 years or 100K - whichever comes soonest, but the Aux belt and the aircon belts need doing every 5 years or 55k miles I think. I'd double check both belt changes (and aux belt tensioner) - as if they go kaput - you risk the whole engine going kaput...which isn't ideal
