Hi new to this, can anybody tell me the price I should expect to pay for a cam belt change on a 300 tdi defender from a non-franchise LR specialist?
Defender 90 CSW 300tdi
2 inch lift snorkel scorpion bumper 33x12.50x15Hi,
I paid £120 2 years ago (this was on a 200Tdi).

Whats the trick anyway ? Just a big enough spanner to get the crank pulley off ?

Don't get the belt out of alignment and take care torquing up the bolts for the cover, apparently wrong torque factors cause many of the stripped belts.
We charge £150 inc parts and VAT If you need the pully upgrade it cost's another £50ish for parts.

27-29 Main Street Huthwaite Sutton-In-Ashfield Nottinghamshire NG17 2LD 01623 452885I was told (by a garage) that you are supposed to replace all the pulleys...etc. They said the kit for this was about £300 to purchase and there would be labour on top of that.
Now, I know these people well, so I doubt they were trying to scare me into parting with the cash.
Is there any truth in this?
Its a possibility it MIGHT need new tensioner pulleys, but that should be down to the mechanic to decide - certainly in the 200Tdi rebuild I am doing, the 120,000 mile engine I have is getting its old tensioners back - there is no sign of wear.
If someone else were paying, hell I'd change the lot....

On the original recall sheet I belive they also suggested that you change the front cover housing ect. But in practise we have never had to and there has not been a problem in doing it this way.

27-29 Main Street Huthwaite Sutton-In-Ashfield Nottinghamshire NG17 2LD 01623 452885Upgrade only applies to certain VIN number assuming origional engine Upgrade has much to do with strenghtening the case and cover due to distortion via incorrect torque settings ( even LR recomanded ones )
