Getting some conflicting advice on when to get the belt and accessories changed,

Ford say something like 100k for the Sigma, but our cars are used in a totally different manner.

Im led to believe my belt was last changed 2 years ago - when would YOU get it changed ?

Caterham say 5 years Ford say 10 years or 100000, I think 10 years would be fine, especially since the cars are under half the weight of a normal car so won't be working the engine as hard, (even with the higher red line) but decided to split the difference at 7.5 years just in case.

I had mine changed at 5 years. I'll be changing it again soon - possibly this year actually! (that's gone quickly!)

I changed mine at 5 years. Caterham used to say 6 years, but better safe than sorry. Change the water pump at the same time.
