Most modern engines are what are called ' interferance fit ' this means if the cambelt breaks there will be major damage to the valves and possible cylinder head. What a lot of people don't know is that the manufacturer recommends a certain mileage or a certain time. I.e. 100,000 miles or 5 years. Many cars on Gib don't do the mileage but do time-out. Check your cars recommendations. It could save you a fortune.
