Just hope your not on your way to a very important appointment when the pump belt lets go then

he reckons 99.9% of pump belts dont need changing the way i see it why spend £350 when you dont need to RRS cost enough as it is lol

Fair point, but don't believe everything people tell you.

You know fine well that the car will let you down exactly when you need to rely on it. For an extra £100 or so (for someone else to do it) I would have it done

+1 Skimping on servicing on these motors will also effect resale.

It'll only affect resale if you tell them you've missed stuff. And as no one who misses stuff tells prospective purchasers then someone pays full price and gets stiffed later on...  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Or when you're in the offside lane of the M25 doing 90MPH with a van tailgating you...
Thinking of that was what persuaded me to get mine done!

it wasnt another £100 cos if it was i would have done it i was led to belive it would cost a further £350 and coming christmas it was soething that can wait the main thing to me was the timing belt as its thisthat does the damage

£350?

OEM belt kit is £40
Genuine LR is £50

Job can be done in an hour, 2hrs at a push.
Typical indy rate is £40 p/h (+ VAT)

£96 inc VAT using OEM, or worst case £156 using Gen.

Sounds like a really nice guy

As previously said I was led to believe but I may have been mistaken anyway I didn't get it done but will do in the new year I'm glad of the input so I now know of approx costing but I thought his price for a cambelt was very reasonable thanks to all

Im looking to have the timing belt changed on my 2005 RRS 2.7 HSE as its done 111k now , the previous owner said it had been replaced in the past but has no receipt or evidence so rather than take his word Ill get it done now for piece of mind , a local garage has done a few of these in the past but I want to get the genuine parts from Land Rover , does anyone know the exact parts I need to buy , I know its 3 belts but do you need to replace the tensioner or anything else

Thanks

Drop Dan @ Duckworths (site sponsor) an email or PM, he should be able to advise on part numbers etc

You need:

LR016655 x1 Cambelt kit
1311306 x2 Idlers
PQS500370 x1 Aux belt (NON-ARC cars)
1324388 x1 HPFP belt


Tensioners come in each kit. Dayco are OEM manufacturers. You can buy them from Bearmach/Britpart at around half the price of Genuine LR, and still receive exactly the same parts, just not in an LR box
