After 48kmiles I decided it was overdue but not liking the price for mitsu to do 45k service I decided to do myself.
So over the weekend I ventured into the unknown and changed my timing belt and spark plugs. :rolleyes5 oh what a job.....
anyway, just a quick note about the condition of the belt after 48k. I found the belt was glazed on the outer surface and there was cracking at the base of every tooth with a few very dubious looking deep cracks.
All in all, I'm not sure if it would have done another 2000miles without failing.
So, my advise is if yer VR4 has done 45k+ miles definatley get the timing belt changed ASAP.
