There are two belts on a RRS one at the front of the engine and one at the rear

I think it is quite straightforward once you have done this |

i understand that is the only way to take the rear belt of, but that the front camshaft belt is more straightforward.

im convinced that the job is straightforward and that the rear belt is fiddly but doesnt need the body off ( this was confirmed by my local stealer) and a good article on the Disco3 website

Im going to be doing the camshaft belts at end of next week, once complete if anyone is interested in hiring the tools from me ( caamshaft locking pins and fan removal tools) please let me know..was thinking of £8 + postage for 2 weeks |

the belt has been changed, well the front one at least. The job was done in a few hours...very straight forward.

since changing the belt the car feels more responsive, press the accelerator and the pick up is a lot quicker |
