Result! sort of

The car passed it MOT with flying colours. I must be better at brake fettling than I thought. On handing over the MOT certificate the garage owner asked if I had had the timing belt changed. I knew that the timing belt was about due to be changed so I asked the chap at what mileage the belt was due for renewal. I thought 50,000 or 60,000 miles. If it was 50k it was over due. If 60k I was reprieved for a little while. The chap said that some Zafira's had timing chains rather than belt and they never needed changing but I knew was a belt drive. He came back with the info. Timing belt service interval 40k....doh! That will be £350 please.
