When do I replace the timing belt in my Fiesta?

My Ford Fiesta is an 04 plate and has done 30,000 miles; it's the 1.2 engine. When do I replace the timing belt?

Hi Morag,

Ford recommends changing the timing belt on that car at least every 160,000km or every eight years. Because of the latter, if you've never had it done, we'd strongly recommend you do so soon.
