It was like tar.. put the lovely new stuff in and after about 30 seconds the engine
note changed to a lurvly purr! good stuff.

Doesnt aux belt get changed?

cambelt changed at 40k rather than 75k. I know you can get it changed earlier but 40k there was no need. The service as well is a little more than a oil filter change feller....

and it should have been done at 36k

You do know the serv light has nothing to do with servicing?

Means it's broken and needs attention.

(unless the MK2 are different..)

Since when has the cambelt needed doing at 40k on a 172? Its 72k or every 5 years
