Vicsta Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hi all I'm thinking of buying a Ford Focus 05 plate, as far as I know there's 90.000 miles on the clock and no history of having the timing belt changed. When would you recommend I have it changed if I was to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastlife91 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 If you buy it then you must have the timing belt replaced right away, alternative is don't change it but a day, week , month or year will go by and you could be stuck with a new car with a !Removed! engine that requires a replacement or a car that is good as scrap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 It's interval 10 years or 100k miles - whichever comes first so it's overdue if it hasn't been done already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
