Hi,

I've just bought a 2002 R75 2.0 TD, BMW Engine

The car's done 61k miles. When does the Cambelt normaly get changed? Is it at 60k on a TD engine?

Its a chain, I.E for life!

You won't be disappointed Matt. An outstanding car with an engine to match. A synergy box from Rover Ron is essential for an extra 35bhp and improved economy/driveability.
