Not 100% sure but I think you'll find its a chain, not a belt and so isnt a problem.
Jon's you're correct it's a chain.

I looked at a Td5 Disco for a mate the other day. Salesman said "owner was a great DIY enthusiast, did all the minor services himself, cambelt was done last month." When I pointed out that the Td5 had a chain, he said "nah, this is one of the earlier ones that had belts." To be fair, it was the only 4x4 on the forecourt.
You don't expect sales people to know *anything* about what they are selling do you. If they actually knew stuff they wouldn't be salesmen... B-)
There is a belt on the TD5, for all the auxillarys, power steering, aircon, alternator etc. ISTR that the service interval replacement period for that is 96,000 miles. The cam shaft is chain driven.
chain, he
salesmen...

I have them on the RAVE CD, can mail them to you if you want.
Hm, I already have the RAVE CD, I think I should have a further look on it...
Thanks anyway :-)
