Ask Smithy Xtra Servicing schedule

Asked by Monique Jesinowski

I've bought a 1997 Ford Festiva Trio that's done 183,000 km and was wondering what servicing should I have done?

If you have the service book you will find the service schedule printed in that. If you don’t have the book, then work on intervals of around 10,000 km or six months. Again, if you have the service book check to see when the cam timing belt was last changed. It should have been changed at around 100,000 km and will next require changing at the 200,000 km mark if it hasn’t been changed in the meantime.
