Paul Every 6/7 years on my 2003 4/4 - Zetec. I also fitted a new water pump on the last recent change. I think that your 4/4 has the 1.6 Sigma engine. I believe that Ford recommend every 8 years for the cam belt and auxiliary belts on the Sigma engine. So yours are due a change. Just not worth risking the engine for a relatively simple job.

+1 Yours is long overdue. Make sure they use a complete kit including water pump.

Do it to the time & or mileage. I had a mate with 3 l Capri who ignored it & watched the engine blow up on the M1. Not a nice experience.

Yep, prevention is waaay cheaper than an engine rebuild and several months of no Mog to use in the summer

This should be the timing belt part number for the Sigma engine KP35669XS, if you need it. Something I need to get replaced on my 2016 4/4 next year. Or earlier
