Timing belt change on 2008 Mazda3?

Hi,

I live in Norvay and I'm going to buy a 2008 Mazda3 diesel model and I wonder if this car has a timing chain or belt and what are the intervals for this. Is it different in Nordic countries or the same worldwide?

How to change my Octavia's oil filter?

I was going to give my car a service, but before I start, I was wondering is the oil filter hard to gain access to, as there are two pipes running above it; it's a 2011 Skoda Octavia 1.6 TDI.

Any advice would be great

Thanks
