They have timing chains, not belts. Do you mean the belt on the front of the engine which drives the alternator, power steering etc? If so you can just buy the part from ford (or auto stores) and do it yourself

I had a belt replaced about 10,000 kays ago, cost about $75 bucks for the belt, not sure about the labour to fit it because some other work was also done.

If you're confident you could have a crack at installing one yourself but I'm not that confident to do so. The belt goes around every pully there is so stuffing it up wouldn't be good.

All the best with it!

changing this belt is really quite simple, the diagram is under the bonnet as is easy to follow. Dump and flush coolant at same time so you can remove radiator and fans to make more room. Whole task is very simple really.
