How long ago was the belt replaced...

This is where I have to admit that it was overdue a change! From the records I have, it was about 95k ago as the second change was late.

It's fair to say that I've already kicked myself!

On the bright side, it does mean that I can start exploring the engine and removing bits without fear of them not going back properly. Also, it may end up providing a donor injection pump for my 'new car', but that's my other thread!

Thanks for the replies

Bill
