I'm not sure, but Ford timing belts usually last longer than 60k. IIRC, it's around the 75k mark.

It could be true - but like I say, I'm not sure. I'll check with my Ford dealer tomorrow and let you know - I assume it's a petrol model............?

vengeance52 · 17-10-2007 10:02pm

I'd still do it after 60k though.
