If petrol then cambelt... If you don't know the history, change it and the water pump ASAP. Actually, I'd change them anyway for peace of mind!

If a smelly oil burner (diseasel) then IIRCC it's a chain.

Hope that helps

If you post up your location in your profile, you may find that there is a local mechanic from the forum close to you> if its the camblet or something like that they tend to be a lot more reasonable than a local garage. (If it is a 2.2 then make sure you have the water pump done at the same time) and welcome to the forum :y
