Hi Robert
Sorry for the delay, the shelf life for the Timing Belts is 8 years prior to fitting, then you have a warranty period of 2 years or 60,000 miles, hope this helps.

I would have thought the above is which ever comes first, the 2trs or the 60,000 miles.

Steve - I agree but only in terms of the warranty. Normally a manufacturer would expect the belts to last around 10+ years after fitting. If the shelf life is 8 years then I would make to total expected life to be 18+ years.
