Does anyone know if these things have an interference engine or not? According to HJ's CBC it doesn't, but reading round the Honda forums many seem to think it does.

Seen one for around £1200, 65k on the clock and very clean but the owner hasn't had the belt changed in the three years she's owned it and has no idea if it has been.

If you're a gambling man, the belt is unlikely to go before 100k miles anyway.

I think my DOHC Civic (V-reg) had a 72k interval so maybe it won't have been changed even if serviced properly to 65k.

I would guess it's also age related though?

The following Gates website indicates the 1.7 engine's interference, but doesn't list the1.4: www.gates.com/part_locator/index.cfm?location_id=3598
