Erm, from memory.
36k, 72k, 113k and 128k. Ish.
JTDs are much more tolerant of belt changes, but, at 3 years old, I'd be
seriously considering having it done.
Is yours a 1.9 or 2.4? - 2.4s are known to last, but they're also a bit
tricky to change. Not sure about the 1.9, but they're peanuts to change
at an indie.
