For a Kia Carnival 2002. What is the Manufacturers recommendation for the period at which cambelts should be replaced? What would be a fair price for this work to be undertaken professionally?

It depends on which engine your Carnival is fitted with. The most common engine from this era was the 2.5 litre Rover KV6 engine, which had a recommendation of 100,000km or 5 years (whichever comes first).
If it is this engine, it's a fairly big job, with the Kia dealer quoting around $2,500 plus GST. You may be able to shop around and get it done cheaper, but make sure whoever does it knows what they're doing.
