hi guys

just bought my first landrover discovery its a 1994 2 door and am preparing for a drive to port lincoln from adelaide for christmas.

i have noticed that the fan belt is in really bad condition and figured i may as well do the timing belt at the same time.

my question is does anybody know a good place for my to buy these parts in adelaide i live south of the city but will drive most places for a good deal :P or is sprint auto parts as good as anywhere else.

and also any other parts that i should replace while doing this, i have noticed that it i pretty big job to do the timing belt so thought there may be other parts that may be worth while while im in there.

thanks for you help :)

Sounds like you have the 200 TDi motor,
They had the better timming belt,
the 300 TDi had all the problems.

1995 on.
about $350 for the kit. every 80k for me

If you do the timing belt look at the water pump at the same time.

all good after some research i have worked out its a 300TDi for myself

just spoke to TRS they quoted 475 for the timing belt kit which seems alot but i may be wrong

You should only pay about $350 for the kit.
I only do the complete kit every 2nd time.
and only the belt in-between, unless there is a problem.
Look at how many K and when it was last done.
if unknown, do it complete.

yep hook is right watch out for TRS they charge like wounded bulls probably best to get your parts from four wheel drives in black burn vic they are landy specialists and have good prices
