cam belt change

[KD3]

how many miles does a ford fiesta V reg have to do before the cam belt needs changing.

Ask your friendly local Ford dealer.  Accept what he says.  OK, it costs a bit to get the belt changed, but you face a BIG bill if the thing breaks and the engine has to be put back into shape (�1000 on a friend's Astra).  I would guess that a V reg car would need the belt changed as soon as possible.

Should tell you in the Handbook... I would have thought 32-36,000 miles as being about right.
