Hi All,
Our local garage has just told me that my timing belt needs replacing, they replaces it themselves not two years ago, and the car can't have done more than 15 thousand miles since then.
Any ideas roughly how many miles/years a timing belt should last on average? It's a peugeot 306 XRTD (1.9 td), and having it replaced costs a packet in labour, and almost nothing in parts, I think the garage is trying to boost business.
They even had the cheek to send me a shock letter saying it needed replacement in the next 14 days, with a minor horror story about the potential damage etc etc.
Sorry for feeble questions I should probably look up myself, but I can't find the haynes manual.
Cheers - Andrew.
