Every 72000 miles it's due as per the Peugeot service schedule; change it at 48000 to be on the extra-safe side.

Depends how many years old.

Have you been sitting in traffic jams for half it\'s life?

Get the picture?

Up to you really. The belt costs £11 at German, French and Swedish. If it snaps, another replacement diesel engine will be £800.

Can you do it yourself?

Nothing in life is easy IMHO, and neither is this, mate.

I agree with David. 48,000 miles (to be safe), and about £110 at a local garage. Personally don't think it's worth bothering DIY at that price.
