Honda Civic 1998 1.4 cam belt - Nick Field
I have just bought one of these with only 23,500 miles. All the dealer stamps are in the book (yearly). But I can't find reference to a cam belt change. Is this required purely on a mileage basis?

Nick, I think the Honda service schedule says the cam belt should be changed at 5 years/60k miles whichever comes first, so it should have been done already. Phone the service department at the Honda dealer which did the last service, they should be able to tell you from their records.
Enjoy the car - good choice.
Ed.

Cheers, Ed, good idea, the dealer (Honda in Ewell) says that post July 1998, the interval changed from 5 years or 60k miles to 8 years or 72k miles.
