Its a 1.1 on a 51 plate which is why she only uses it for short journeys but we have been on holiday in it before saves alot on fuel.

Timing belt is dead cheap for that engine Cool

1 hours labour plus the cost of the belt, there that simple to do on a 1.1 Wink

Its every 80K miles OR 5 years whichever comes 1st Wink

A Peugeot main dealer can change a 8 valve TU timing belt on a 206 in under 45 minutes Wink

Lost a bit of coolant and still getting mayo colour under filler cap.Mate did a test where you suck coolant out into a tube filled with blue liquid and if the liquid changed to orange there is a leak on head gasket.Result was the liquid stayed the same colour.Are these tests reliable?Also the car is going to be serviced and have the timing belt and water pump done next week should i wait until i know for sure the head gasket is not leaking.Any advice.?

those tests are pretty gd, if there are exhaust gasses in the coolant (signs of HG failure) the liquid will change colour, the fact that it stayed the same is just another sign thats the cars fine Smile

a bit of water loss is not uncomon considering age and mileage.
