Just a question that might not be answerable! I was checking my garage invoices and discovered that the car's done around 66,000 miles since the last cambelt change. I realise there's a risk in driving but how much of a risk is there likely to be? Haynes says change at 48,000 so I guess I'm well beyond any manufacturer margin of safety. I believe it's a non-interference engine, and it would be something of a relief if so. Also they tell me at the garage that the most likely time for failure is on cold starting, less so while driving.

The really bad news is that the garage can't fit in until the 19th, so I'm likely to be on tenterhooks each time I drive!

Anyway, opinions and comments most welcome, even if it means I might need to borrow or hire a car for a couple of weeks.
