yet another timing belt question

IMHO, on diesels they will last forever. Your manual will probably advice you to change the belt somewhere around

They don't last for ever, the main dealers say every 72,000 mls.

I'd recomend less than that... done a few at only 50k and the belt hasn't looked fantastic. My parents 300Tdi Discovery will be geting a new belt AT 50k miles... ;) Toby

book says 72K, but then it also says 36K if you do harsh conditions or lots of stop-start. I tend to the view that 36K is sensible, but no need to panic if it's done 36001 and you've not changed it.

trying to remember, but didn't somebody do a timing chain conversion kit for the landy??

Recomended at 72 K miles, I do mine at 50 k interval for peace of mind. Check timing belt cover mod for frayed belts. Having said that, I had mine done at a LR garage ( ind ) and was charged £196 during which they replaced the front crank seal for 'free'. Quite happy with it.

They tell that it is easy to install, but also they claim it takes 8 hour to do?!
