Belts are usually 50k, chains 100k

Although, my dads vectra sri snapped the chain at 52k. Nowhere near time for a change

When I got my car it was at 44k and my dad was going on about it needing doing at 40 and we didn't have a receipt for it, so I went to a local garage and they sad it has a chain so doesn't need doing at all.

Not yet, RAC messed up. They thought I was getting it delivered to a dealers so it couldn't be delivered until Monday. So it's in a depot in Walsall waiting there till tomorrow when it will be delivered to me around midday.

At least you know they aren't driving it around at their pleasure.

But cambelt going ftl - I thought you'd have been recovered all the way home, unless you don't have Relay breakdown cover - who got you the hire car?
