Isuzu KB280 Diesel Problem

Hi there, my 280dt is still going strong. Four questions:

-Do I need to replace the timing belt and at what intervals?
-Is it worth checking the injectors?
-What else needs replacing at this mileage?
-How does the newer low sulphur diesel affect my engine?

Thanks,

Ian
