Does the 2007 Ford Mondeo have a timing belt?
Hi, first may I congratulate you all on a great website, I only found it recently. I have a 2007 new type Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Zetec six-speed. It has covered 156,000km. My question is, does this car have a cam/timing belt? If yes when would it need replacing and what would be the approximate cost be?
Thank you

Is Volvo servicing expensive?
Hi, am I being ripped off on my Volvo servicing? I was quoted €229 for 20,000 service, €259 for 40,000 service, €360 for 60,000 service. The first is for oil, oil filter and fluid top-ups; 40,000km service includes oil, oil filter, pollen filter and fluid top-ups, plus Volvo wipers were €48. Servicing for other cars I've owned (VW, Ford and Opel) was nearly €100 cheaper. I am sorry I bought a Volvo now.

When should I service my Kia Cee'd diesel?
How often should I get my diesel car serviced? It's a 2007 Kia Cee'd 1.6 CRDi. I got it serviced in May this year. The garage recommends it gets servived every 10,000 km. I've now done 12,500 since last service. Theres 80,000km on clock. Money tight at the minute so wondering could I stretch it for another 2,000 km or so?
