Hi Buzzy thanks for the email. Actually, I just bought a 3.5 last week to go with my 2.7 and it's at the garage today having the timing belt changed as the previous owner hadn't had it done. It was when I was researching all this that I found out about the timing chain going on 2.7's. There were a couple of times when my garage mentioned having the belt changed on the 2.7 but then corrected themselves to say that it isn't necessary because it has a chain. I was rather dismayed to see that the chain isn't reliable although I'm not sure whether that's just internet rumour. I lived in the UK and had a Citroen with hydraulic suspension - beautiful car http://www.google.ca/search?q=citroen+xm&hl=en&biw=1271&bih=862&prmd=ivns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=3OsmTv7hMcft0gHM6OWuCg&ved=0CC0QsAQ fabulous ride because of the hydraulics. But people always moaned that the hydraulics were unreliable. I had 6 Citroens with the hydraulics and never once had a problem. They were cheap too because of the unwarranted reputation. I kind of wonder if the Intrepid timing chain issue is similar.
