I followed the instructions for the landrover 2.5 when i did mine.Still working now! :)I reckon that they are similar enough that it'll do.

Thanks Tom I've got a manual which gives,    13 / 15 ft/lbs for the 200tdi engine    10 / 12 ft/lbs for the 300tdi engineBut nothing about the 2.5 engine :-(  John

I've got a landrover 90/110 workshop manual here.

For the LR 2.5 diesel it says that the tensioner should be set to

29-23.5 Nm/21 to 17 lb ft. Then do two complete engine revolutions, and then slacken and re-tension to the above torque.

If you want me to scan the relevant pages in the workshop manual i can do so. It is easy because it is ring bound so they will go individually into the scanner.
