Just to remind everyone :
The diesel belts are due every 90k.

I've seen 100's of member's cars with full service history still with original belts on even after 100k miles!
Many garages don't bother to change them at the 90k major service

The compressor belt starts to split at 70k and the Aux belt still looks good at 100k.
Best to change both for piece of mind
