Take a chill pill mate, it was helpful for those who have a 110 and or 120 due a cambelt change.

It is every 90,000 miles or 6 years, but if it has manual tensioner then its 60,000, (early models) as they changed the size of the cambelt to a wider one which meant it can be left longer

yahh, sorry a wasnt trying to prove a pint too much just dint want people to panic because theyde gone over, im doing mine in the summer cuz thats 6 years

my belts were over due a year and could not belive the state of the belt that i took off mine, it was all cracked, dont think it would have lasted much longer
