Default Timing Belt

Hi everyone i have a 95 and its in pretty good shape. I got it from my dad about 5 years ago and he did the timing belt at 95,000 miles. It now has 120,000 miles on it. My question is when is the next time i should start thinking about doing the timing belt again.
Thanks

Yup, 90K miles is the recommended interval.

there's also a time interval specified, but rarely have i seen the belt go due to age, it's more likely to be one of the bearings int eh belt system.

i'd just pull the timing belt cover off once a year to keep an eye on it, and keep an ear open for sounds of a dying bearing.

Second time around I would definately rec a water pump replacement too, they leak and over time can sieze. The leak is usually small but it is the begining of pump deteriation. so make sur you do it when you do the belt...
