Sorry I cant talk about the cam belt as I never reached that mileage in my LR5 but the AdBlue is simple refill when the car tells you its needed which will depend on how the car is driven and how many miles you cover, when its low you will get a dash warning with a mileage remaining countdown, from memory mine came on with about 1000 miles left and you must top it up (normally 10 litres) as if you let it run empty the car wont start/run (well that's what the manual said but I never tested it!) Lee

Hi,

Use the LR Remote App.

Look at “status” on the first page and it will tell you an estimate of the mileage till you have to add DEF ( Diesel Exhaust Fluid- AdBlue) or look under “vehicle health report” depending on which version of the App you are using.

If you add it yourself, make sure it’s the correct spec as some cheap stuff doesn't’ “dose” correctly in LR products.

If your a high miler adblue gets real tiresome real quick refilling and expensive also, cheapest place I found it was B&M stores where the twenty litre drum was 50% cheaper than the petrol stations. MY18 SCV8 Satin flux silver

MY16 SDV8 SANTORINI BLACK - perfect 👌
MY64 SCV8 DARK BLUE - nightmare car

MY15 SDV6 FIRENZE RED - perfect 👌
MY12 SDV6 DISCO4 IPANEMA SAND - perfect 👌
MY09 TDV6 SPORT BLUE - lots of issues

My local bp station has adblue in a pump - you pay for what you use and half the price of buying in containers.

You could always decant a couple of litres into a smaller container to make pouring it easier I suppose.

In this video, the presenter also points out that the bulk container is heavy/unwieldy, and suggests using a small watering can and funnel. It is about 6 min long. Could have been done in 90 sec!
