I can't find any information in the Haynes book ,or Autodata about how often the cambelt needs to be changed on my 1.1L fiesta 1982 . I've had it eight years now , so i guess it needs doing

It's a chain, rather like an outside toilet.

Yeap no belt on these but they used to wear out timing chains on a regular basis. We used to get no end of them in with oil leaks where the chain had been left too long and had worn through the cover.

check the tensioner if its rattling

As above - the tensioner is a simple blade type - if left too long it will rub through the case.

And they don't half make a racket...
