Hey all this is my first post in the forum, (I suspect a pretty stupid one at that) so bear with me.

I recently bought a 1995 Disco 3.9L v8 ES from a friend and have well and truly bitten by the Landover bug!

My Friend who sold me the car advised that it was in need of a new fan belt – which I thought would be pretty easy to replace. I got myself a Haynes manual but cannot find a single mention of a fan belt in the manual?

Is the fan belt called something else on a landrover?? #I found drawings of drive belts, air con belts etc but not fan belt?

I fear I am being really stupid here but would appreciate a bit of clarification on this!

Thanks in advance!

We may call it a fan belt as that is all it did in the old days drive the water punp with it's fan.
Haynes call it a drivebelt as Lr no doubt, the various belt configs are shown in the manual.

I have a 300tdi, and I think mine is called a Serpentine belt. Good job there's no confusion, then!

Serpentine belt, again an unofficial term because of the way the drivebelt winds it's way around the various pullys, a term not used by Land Rover in their discriptons.

I'm not using my Air Con, can I cut and remove the Aux belt? Or does it drive anything else.
