    get it done
    if you are unsure of mileage it's a must
    whilst the mechanic is in there get water pump and tensioners done at same time
    they are all connected, and if any fail in near future you will go thro the same process of a new cambelt + labour, wheras the extra labour and parts should not amount to much more than about £40

    Expensive time of year aint it though. I have been asking around - will get it done in very new of the year. lol. Car seems to be quite expensive at the moment, tax at the end of the month, had a new exhaust system fitted last month, was told I will need new Cat Converter v.soon (yes, I know! Quoted £180 for that from a national dealer, £100 from a little independant) and this ticking time bomb of the cambelt. Ah well, car is still worth it I suppose.
