My car has done 92,000. When should I have my cam belt renewed? I have a Ford Focus and have my car serviced regularly.

Hello Rose. It depends on the age of your car as well as the mileage. Most manufacturers recommend cambelts are changed at around 100,000km and anything from 4 to 6 years. If your car is 6 years old, It should be changed now, but if it is a younger car, you can wait until it has done 100,000km.
