I think ( of top of my head ) officially its every 80K miles or 5 years ( which ever comes first ) on this TU5 lump.

Wouldn't leave one more then 50K miles though before a change, budget on a water pump too, they normal have a little leak after being disturbed.

Cambelt kit ( with tensioners etc ) is cheap from French parts specialists too
