With cambelt I believe pattern are ok. Gates and Contitec iirc (I have Gates fitted to mine). Even with history I would still do cambelt, aux belt, waterpump (not sure re: tensioner) but cant be bad can it?

An 02 plate with 52,000.... makes it a 2002 car... 10 years old

Every 4 years or 40,000.

So, its possibly 12,000 miles overdue or its 6 years overdue

Personally .. I would not take the risk ... change it before driving it.

Excellent advise there Entwood, I have seen far to many with bent valves at 40,000 mile intervals.
In answer to your question Do I need Vauxhall... No, but In my opinion you get what you pay for.

In my opinion you get what you pay for.

This is especially true with V6 Water Pumps at the moment, too...

Agreed - or sod's law will bite you in the arse. Don't forget to use the locking kit.
