I'm looking at buying a 1.8 TDCI 2006 Ford Focus. Anyone know if its a cam belt or chain?

Cheers

Thats strange the dealer is trying to tell me its a chain - Ghia model. Its got a full service history so you would have thought it will have been changed as its on 119,000. Guess I'll have to look through the service book tomorrow when I look at it.
