Ford Focus Mk2 - timing belt or chain?
I have just bought a 60 plate Ford Focus Mk2 1.6 TDCI and I was wondering if it has a timing chain or belt and when this would need replacing. I do not have any paperwork to show the timing belt has been changed, so is there any way of determining myself if this has been done as I do not want to change it unless I need to?

This engine uses a timing belt. I'd suggest changing it every 60,000 miles or five years (whichever comes first).
If you don't have any history paperwork for the car then I'd assume it hasn't been done.
