I heard its best to do it every 20k. But then i dont know much, probably less than you. Im sure Jug will post something.
You should do it due to the age of your car, yes.
If i am not mistaken its every 60000miles or every 5 years whichever comes first.
it was one of your old posts i read about only changing the beltyour local motorfactor should be able to supply a gates powergrip for £25, just make sure you order it before you need it.
personally at 21k i would only change the belt, non-rubber parts like bearings will still be good as new. your next belt change should be at approx 80k, so i'd wait till then and do the full lot (you probably wont own it by then)
on my own cars i dont change tensioners, idlers and waterpump until at least 100k and i'm not a risk taker. on some cars (e.g. twinsparks) you need to be more careful. i know on my car at 58k the tensioner and waterpump had perfectly smooth bearings with no play at all, so i'm not worried. its better to be safe than sorry, but its cheaper and more sensible to make a decision based on the actual condition of the parts, which at 21k will be good as new.
but to each their own
will a 1997 belt kit fit a 2000 ?
