Question Ford Focus maintenance

What maintenance is supposed to be done to a 2001 Focus at about 70-75k miles? Fluid flushes? Timing belt change?

How often is the timing belt supposed to be changed on a Focus?

Are there any good websites FTE style for the Focus?

I usually tell customers that a timing belt, all fluids, belts, hoses, and hubs should be checked or replaced at 70-75K.

That Focus Fanatic website looks pretty good, and I got some links for the maintenance schedule. Don't need anything major until spark plugs at 100k miles and timing belt at 120k miles, so it looks like we're good to go for a while yet. Thanks for the link.
