Its interference as a quick forum search would have shown you! New engine time i'm afraid. Belt change interval is 36,000 miles or three years.

Re: 147 timing belt
yep.
As above it is an interference type and you should have replaced the belts at least 11000miles ago.
The interval changed to 36000miles/3-years in November 2006 (2-years ago).
