I am about to buy a Renault Clio RSI - registered 1995 and 53,000 miles.
Can't seem to find out when cambelt should be changed - 70,000 miles or after (say) 5 years? The car is still on its original belt.
Have changed a cambelt on a 1995 Mondeo - is the Clio's any more difficult? If a garage has to do it - any idea of the approx cost - someone told me £300.
Thanks for any advise you can give.

Original belt is 9 years old, good LORD get it done now, please :)
I'd be afraid to drive it! £300 sounds a bit much? Surely its not an engine out job?
Been quoted £165 all in for the 1.4 of the same shape, at Nationwide autocentres.
It can't be that different...

Thanks for all your help and replies.
£160+ is reasonable - and yes, it will get changed PDQ................. Remove the sea bird if you want to reply.
