When we picked up the Elite Estate, it did say it was done 7k ago, but for peace of mind, knowing its done right (and the timing) also knowing tensioners are changed as well, it was replaced.
Personally, if we gained another Omega to the tunnie fleet, its cambelt would be changed, no matter what the history says :y

But I (very) vaguely remember that the person who did it was nursing a hell of a bad head due to over endulgance the night before.... ....would you trust someone in that state?
(or was that a different car, I can't keep up ;D)

This sound familiar?
TB: "Lets stay in, and have a salad and some fruit juice."
Lazydocker (crying): "No, I want to go to Tiffins, and have copious amounts of Cobra. I'm a guest, so we have to do what I want"
TB (very reluctantly, and disappointed he won't get his salad): "OK"
-
Actually, I bumped into one of the waiters from Tiffins in the Market Square on Tuesday afternoon, he wanted to know where I'd been... ...I hadn't been in since Friday...

Speaking of curries... I have some sad news. :(
Went to that pub in Bentley with attached Indian restaurant last week.
It's not an indian restaurant any more. It's a "fusion" restaurant. I guess it sells food that's been welded together. It wasn't bad, but not quite the same. :'( :'( :'(

So its turned from a good curry house (and decent beer iirc) to a posh-nosh crappy wannabe restuarnt? >:(
