Great, thank you. Where is the 6 year reference?

Sorry I wrote "6 years" in haste.
My BMW owners handbook for my 325i says......."renew toothed belt every second inspection II or every 4 years." It makes no reference to mileage.
My Haynes say change belt every 40,000 miles (60,000 Kms) or every 4 years.
Sorry about that confusion. Cheers

Great stuff. Thank you.

Any recommendations for doing this in Kent?

Cheers.

I'm just down the road from Redhill (in Gatwick) and can do this for you.
