Just wondering what a sensible interval for these is - my Dad's car (which he's had from 'nearly new') last had it done at 55k, 6 years ago (main dealer job, with tensioners), and apparently they extended the interval from 60k to 80k, with not much mention of "or xxx years, whichever occurs first".
Ordinarily I'd just say "get it done now", but I've heard that the Zetec engines have a particularly good reputation for cambelt life, and ISTR someone saying 10 years is fine if the mileage hasn't been reached, though I've got a feeling that was for later versions of the Zetec engines. It's a 96/P reg Mk1 (as per the title) with the 1.8 Zetec (think it's a 'black top' one).
Also, is the water pump driven by the cambelt or not, on this engine?
Cheers,
Peter
