Hello guys,
Newbie here!  My better half is going to buy a Mazda 2 over the next week or so.  Just wondering if it has a timing chain or belt?  Sorry if it comes across as a silly question.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

No, the 1.4 Diesel has a timing belt...However its a long lasting one which only needs replacement every 100,000 miles or every ten years, whichever comes first.

That's really good to know - feel much safer knowing it a chain cam on my 2 rather than a rubber band. Cheesy
