Hi all, just got my first Bongo, and know nothing about them... th Cambelt was done in 2007 - 30,000 miles ago, anyone know when these are supposed to be changed, is this a big / expensive job? any help appreciated!

There's a factcsheet, along with many others in the members area (well worth the few quid that it costs) but I think you're too late to join now before Ian sets off for the Bash in Stourport.
Service interval is 100,000km for the cambelt I think, so you're probably about halfway there, nowt to worry about for a bit.
Most important thing to familiarise yourself with is the cooling system, consider a low coolant alarm or Mason alarm (search function will reveal all) or at the very least modifying the temp gauge to read sumat useful (fairly well dumbed down as standard).
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

Hi everything that missfixit said and welcome to the forum. Fact sheets are a great bedtime read. :D If you put your location in your sig then you may find your near someone who can pop round and advise.
