yep mines on 60k now at 2 yr old so thought i get it done after reading on here
My local dealer have never done a V6CDTi one, they priced it the same as the 3.2v6 Petrol!
The belt going on the 1.9 150 is not as bad as you think. If a cam belt fails on the 1.9 150, the rockers are designed to break, rather than the valves getting bent.
Marshall's have done a few now on cars with 50,000 + miles, but it is not the belt that fails, it is the water pump, they have had a couple where the water pump cease's up without notice and strips the belt.
I did air my concerns, but he told me they have done maybe 3 for this reason, which is nothing compared to how many 1.9 150's are out there.
I think the rocker breaking is a much better design than valves being bent, it is only a case of removing the rocker cover and replacing accordingly.
