Done a few at work and i'm 100% sure after the 2.8 they went to a 150 000K interval and you also have to pull the dash out to turn the light off not hard to do just not as easy as pushing a reset button

yeah 150000km on the 5L 3.0d. some reckon that they are better off done earlier though..

any idea on how much a mechanic would charge to do it? mine will be due soonish.

piece of piss to do. I recomend replacing tensioner bearing, cam shaft seal and crank shaft seal while you have it pulled apart.
# Pull radiator out.
# Put a socket on the crank bolt and try to losen it. May need a rattle gun, if you don't have one use a braka bar and put a extension pipe on the end and lay against chasis and give the moter a crank with the key.(MAKE SURE NOT TO START)
# Pull harmonic balancer off with a puller
# Take off timing belt cover (air con can be in the way but work around it)
# Put socket on camshaft bolt and wind over to line up timing marks. Crank is on to of pulley, cam is under pulley and pump is on top of pulley.
# If changing seals losen cam bolt. Otherwise leave alone.
# Losen tensioner and remove spring.
# Pump will move when tension is off.
# Bearing will only cost around $50 from bearing shop.
# Might be good to replace idler pulley bearings.(these are standard bearings from bearing shop.)
# Seal you can get from bearing shop aswell but get high temp seals (these are red in colour)
# time to put back together
# If you took off cam pulley don't tighten bolt till the belt is tensioned (BUT DON"T FORGET TO TENSION - Speaking from experience)
# Pump can be a pain to get the timing mark correct as it is under load and may need a socket or spanner to hold it in place.
# When back together, wind over 3 times and check the timing marks again. When correct double check bolts.
# Replace timing cover and rediator.
# Hope this helps
Cheers

Yeah thats gotta be wrong, thats just over an hour labour at most places these days. Did they throw in the parts for free?

i did mine one saturday, its a really easy job actually, as mentioned before the hard part is getting the timing marks lined up as the pump wants to spring back, and the timing mark on the crank is sometimes hard to see. When you have to reset the timing belt light in the dash there should be a rubber bung next to your trip meter reset button, remove that and use a screw driver to press the little button behind it. Thats the way it was on my 2.8 hilux anyways.

5L motor is slightly different in its reset- you have to remove the sodding dash!

And $110- Are you sure its a 5L 3.0L diesel, and not the 1KZ-TE 3.0TD motor?

The KZ is about 20 minutes, 2 sockets and an allen key to replace!

You sure they didn't just replace a fan belt? There is no way it would be that cheap, especially from a dealership.
