   I'd get it done at 60k and every 6 years personally (roughly 10k and 1 year before they are due)
   
   Citroen recommend they are changed roughly half the above time if the journeys are short.

   cheers raunchz, to be fair saxos are one of the easiest cambelts to replace hence the price, its when you get into more exotic stuff it gets expensive

   The longest part for me doing a cambelt is getting the covers off

    16V £130, always budget for water pump replacement at the same time, false economy not to replace it whilst covers and belt are off
