According the honest john it says every 4 years. Presumably that means about every 50k miles???

hi! I just changed the timing belt on mitsubishi lancer, 60000 on the clock. It should always be done with water pump and tencioner. But 60k is a bit early for original parts to change, cos everything I took off looked still like new. Timing belt had no cracks at all.
