Serpentine Belt
My 2000 Disco is right around 48000 miles, and I've been told I should replace the serpentine belt at around 45k. I'm not noticing anything serious cracks or anything, so I'm curious if another couple of thousand miles would be okay, or if I should really buckle down and do it.
Do you get any warning on these guys? I haven't noticed any squeaking or other normal belt noises.

RE: Serpentine Belt
The 45K service includes a new belt. Did you have that service done ? The belt is very robust. It will show signs of needing replacement. It will start cracking, then chunks will come off, then eventually it will fail. Come to think of it , I've never seen one fail from age or mileage. Robust !

Not a bad idea, actually. How hard is it to replace this belt? Should I have a dealer do it, or could someone with a reasonable amount of mechanical skill be able to handle it?
