    Hi,

    I am planning to have my timing belt replaced at 66000 miles - should
    I be looking to replace anything else at the same time such as
    tensioners, idlers etc? Or is just changing the belt OK?

    Check the water pump is OK and most people recommend renewing the tensioners

    Also it would be as well to change the auxilliary belt too. They tend
    to crack and when they get too bad they snap, and will sometimes get
    caught up in the cambelt by getting behind the crankpulley. This will
    make the cambelt jump and may cause considerable engine damage. The
    belt is around 15 to 20 pounds. Check the auxilliary belt tensioner
    and jockey whells for any tight spots or roughness and renew as nec.

    Many thanks

    So I need to look at:

    Timing belt
    Aux belt, tensioner & wheels
    Water pump
