Hmmm... Mine is turning up 80k. What year is yours? I need to plan a trip to Lates to get mine done. Mechanic that normally does our work says he did 1 KV6 and wouldn't do another one, and i don't trust the other 'garages' here to do it.

Mine is an 03 plate with 83k miles on... I guess I need to do the belts at some point (next service is 90k which officially is the cambelt change!)
