have yu done a search? yu'll find lots of threads on things that go wrong with gaylanders. TD4 is probably the best of a bad job though.

Abi?? Are you a wimmin?? The cambelt is located behind the doorskin on the left hand side of the vehicle depending on which way you approach it, if you strip it back and dont find it you obviously have the wrong door.

No the TD4 (which is a BMW engine) has a chain not a belt. There is no replacement interval that I am aware of, but if oil changes are neglected and/or you do lots of short journeys with a cold engine then they can still wear out...........this was an expensive mistake made by an old gent who had a new Corsa (with a timing chain). 4 years old, been to shops in village and no oil change ever.

think it has a snake belt
