Default Cambelt .... When should it be replaced?

My S is coming up to 38000 miles now, and i'm pretty sure it hadn't had its cambelt changed before I got it. Does anyone know when it's due to be changed? Is it 40k like most cars?

Seemed like a sensible question at the time, but i'm guessing itmight not be with that reaction??

72K miles or 96 months.

Also, iirc it's a chain not a belt, although the service book lists it as a belt.

Sorry.

S2000 doesn't have a cambelt. Has a camchain. And I don't think it ever needs replacing.

Dembo, are you sure? my post was taken from the service book, but like I said it's listed as a belt.
My last car, a civic r, was also chained, but it certainly required changing albeit way later than a belt whould have done.

It's a Cam Chain and it doesn't need replacing unless it is rattling
