Should the garage change my Ford Focus timing belt?
Hi, I very recently bought a 2008 Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi with 94k miles on the clock. I asked the garage where i purchased it from about the timing belt and for them to replace it. They said I had "30k or 40k miles left" before it needs doing and wouldn't entertain my request to get it changed. Can you give me some information about when it needs doing or about what mileage I should get it checked out at?
Thanks in advance.

Can you confirm if the Toyota Avensis has a timing chain?
Does the 2010 Toyota Avensis D-4D have a timing belt or chain? I looked at the engine and can see a belt but online says it has a chain.
