The time is NOW! Whilst it's still only £150 at main agents.

Use Search to find more on this if you need to

At 75k do i have anything else major to replace..?

Did your stilo come with up to date Fiat service history, if so i'd give the dealer that did the last service a ring and ask if it was done.

If it's definately not been done then get it done ASAP.

Depends on service history.

You might want to have a service too (at the same time).

Have a read of FiatCare.

From official Fiat Service schedule Cambelt is 5 years or 72K, whichever comes up first. My JTD will be 5 years old next service April '08 and have about 52k on the clock... I intend to have the cambelt changed then for piece of mind

GET IT DONE NOW! or you'll regret it may be worth getting the water pump changed at the same time.

i wouldnt trust a belt on any diesel past 40k

Cheers for the info people...

If you are feeling flush, get the water pump changed at the same time as I did. They will replace the coolant protecting you from the big freeze when it comes.

Is this a wind up

On ops in 1991. An E2 detected a bogus launch that was apparently an atmospheric anomoly. They sanctioned a drop and we quickly corrected the error thereby saving some border people.
Not very dramatic I agree, but in hindsight, we should have got a thanks.

In that case I take my cap off to you :worship:

Anyone who saves lives should have every right to shout about it in my view
