    Timing Just Right

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Festiva Ford Festiva Advice Ford Festiva 1997
    MY DAUGHTER'S 1997 Ford Festiva 1.3 manual recently went in for its 100,000km service and I was advised the timing belt needed to be changed. Is this correct and if so what should it cost? Stephen Harrington

    YES, it is good advice. Belts are typically changed at about four years or 100,000km, whichever comes first, and in your case both milestones are up. As for cost expect it to be $200-$400.
