I'll be replacing the timing belt on my 97 Volvo 850 T5 this weekend. I do most of my own work because:

a) I'm cheap
b) There are only a few mechanics I would trust to do it properly
c) I really enjoy it

Also I'm not sure I believe all this stuff about modern cars being too complicated to work on. The internal combustion engine hasn't changed that much in the last 100 years - although there's admittedly a lot more electronics involved now. And now there are wonderful internet forums full of very smart people who are willing to help out.
