My next service...biggy?

[dannyboy172]

Right my situation is...my car currently has 65k miles on the clock. It had a service (full) at 55k miles at an independent garage and cambelt plus tensioner belts at 57k at the local steelers. So for my next service is it just an oil change? Or do i need to reach further into my pockets?

How come it had cambelt done at 55k?

It lists here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=107873 whats done but you've had them done early.
I'd just stay with a basic oil and filter etc

The reason why the belts were changed was simply because i had the money at the time, the stories i've heard of them breaking early and also due to the amount of miles i cover each month.

So if i'm looking at just an oil change it shouldn't be too bad

ditto. had my cambelt done at 50k, not worth the worry as you creep towards 70k for me!

How come it had cambelt done at 55k?

Also depends on the age, mine was done at 36k as I was approaching 5 years old.

the head mechanic at my local Renault dealer said cam belt changed at 72k or 5 years which ever came first my snapped at 69k cos i dint no this but car is 6 years old so its better to be safe than sorry it cost me just short of 400 quid for bits and rebuilt the engine myself
