2003 KV6 Timing Belt info request

Hi All,

I bought a 2003 V6 Freelander about a month ago. There is a load of service history with it however I can't seem to find out when the timing belts were last changed.

I'm new to Land Rovers so I'd like to ask you guys the following..

Do I need to replace the water pump at the same time as replacing the belt (as I have to with my Skoda Superb)?

I skipped over some similar threads on this forum and am I correct in thinking there are other related belts that need to be changed at the same time?

Is there anything else I should be doing / looking at when changing?

Thanks

The water pump is used as a guide pulley for the front timing belt so it makes sense to change it at the same time.

Hi Nodge68,

Thanks for your comment. I looked for the guide in your signature and went through every page (all 20) but couldn't find it

Would you mind posting up a link for me please? I'd be really grateful.

Also, do you or anyone else on here know of any reasonably priced timing belt kits and water pumps?

Thanks.

That's odd. I can see the guide, well most of it. I'm on my mobile at the moment so bandwidth is limited.
I'll see if I can sort something for everyone to see.

Edit. I've just worked out what you have been looking at. It's not in my post history on here. It's a link to a guide I did on X Power forums some years ago.
