I was told by the dealer I bought mine from to wait until 200,000... ?

I'll grant you that. <_< I've just met one too many so called "experienced" mechanics that say things like "Don't worry, you don't have to change it unless you start having problems..." or "Nah, it's not important to change it right now, you can do it later..." My father is one of those people that don't realise the importance of changing the timing belt. I told him to change the timing belt on my sister's ProtÃgà when it hits 100,000km. I told at 88,000km. The car now has 140,000km and it still hasn't been changed. :(
