    The Haynes manual is much more cautious about this vital item, also several other car companies have revised such intervals down greatly. I shall halve the interval, and do the other belt, etc at the same time.

    I think on the new Fiesta they have revised the interval to 10 Years or 80,000 miles. Probably Ford being cautious.
