    Cambelt change interval please?

    Hi - years ago my Triumph Dolomite Sprint (don't laugh!!!) DIED after the cambelt snapped and wrecked the engine......so....

    I was looking through the service record of my S2... it had a new cam belt in October 2003, about 35,000 miles back...

    What's the advice for replacing it pls?

        80k miles at a very max IMO. I prefer 60k to be safe...

        All my cars have a new cambelt etc when bought, just so that I KNOW it has been done.
