Is Nissan's 'checkover' a service at 1,000km?

Hi,

I availed of the Nissan scrappage scheme and I'm told there's a free "checkover" at over 1,000km; is it a checkover or service I'm wondering?

Thanks very much

Do I need to change my Mondeo's timing belt?

Hi,

Our 2007 Ford Mondeo 2007 just passed its NCT, had a service, got a new battery etc. Just wondering (as I do not have a notion!) when I may need to get timing belt replaced? Seen a similar reply on a Mondeo but unsure if it is the same with our 07 saloon model.

Thanks,

Karen
