90,000 miles or 6 yrs whichever comes first.............Prices vary.....change water pump at same time to be safe.......average price with the full service as well approx £600+

90,000 miles or 6 years , whichever comes sooner .
Remember there are 3 belts , some garages don't know this , and you should have the pulleys, water pump and auxillary belt replaced at the same time as it is so much work to get in there !
Prices vary massively but £500-£600 might be typical . Others might know of better deals but be sure you are getting everything done :}

The 75 I last completed had only had the one main belt changed............and had been fitted one tooth out by the previous Garage!!
(it still ran smooth but was a tad sluggish!!)
