If it's a Discovery 2 with the correct engine, no cambelt, but if fitted with a Tdi as you suggest, yes!

Check what engine you have, It should be a TD5, no cam belt, it's the Tdi's, which shouldn't be in a Discovery 2, that have belts.

What engine is it? 1 or 2?

If it is 1, it is a 300TDi and not a Discovery 2. This will have a cambelt and they need to be placed ever so often (50k Miles I think but run a check on that....)

If it is 2, it is a TD5 and these have timing chains. Don't know much about TD5's but i know timing chains don't need replacing regularly.
