Nothing wrong with the OEM stuff mate. Shop around and get a quote though as some places charge through the roof. You definately want to get it done before 72k though bud.

Am i to replace the belt on its own or would it be better to buy a belt kit and change the whole lot how about 'GATES' brand they make good belts?
 
I had only 51000 on mine when the belt went, bent 8 valves, get it done as soon as you have the funds, was 5 year old like, so it was my fault,.....
