Hi, I have a low milage (18,000)1983 Esprit Turbo. The timing belt is the original and upon inspection, appears to be in good condition. It has no cracking or tears on inside or outside. Is it IMPERATIVE I change this or is it actually OK to drive till the C sched. maint at 25,000? Thanks.

Should be changed at least every 5 years due to material breakdown. Dont risk it.
