After a discussion about cam belts with mr PPP over dinner the other night I thought I'd check the last date mine was done in the service history.

It turns out that it was last changed in 2006 at parklane Subaru when the mileage was at 24k (45k service carried out ).


The mileage now is at 54k so question is does it need replacing as its only covered 30k since but then again its over 5 years old, mileage vs time?


If I was to get it changed where's the place to get it done and how much does it roughly cost?


I did think about having ago myself but are there any special tools needed and could it go catastrophically wrong if I miss something.
Is it just a case of loosen a tensioner and slip off old then slip on new? Couldn't tell you what's behind the covers.
