Hi i am buying a s/h car opel astra or insignia What are the questions around timing belt/chain and water pump . Thanks Catherine
Hi Catherine,
There's nothing special you should be asking about those models, but for all cars you should be looking for a detailed service history. With regards to timing and cam belt changes, look up the correct intervals for any given car you are thinking of buying (you'll need to know the model year and engine size) and check that the schedule has been adhered to, as it's an important piece of maintenance for all cars.

Ask us anything motoring related and please provide as much information as possible so we can give you the most accurate advice.
