So I called Land Rover Gatwick today to ask how much it would be for the timing belt and belts in that section of the car to be changed on a 2.0 litre XeDi 2000, W reg.

The lady rang and left a message saying that according to her computer my car has no timing belt!!!

I've confirmed on the Haynes manual and I was right! I do have one. As I suspected the valves don't just magically turn themselves in the correct sequence! to make the wheels turn.

Has anyone got a pic of that side of the engine or can someone tell me all the belts driven from the crankshaft, either directly or non-direct?

Regards,
Stefan.
 
Not sure about the xedi, but the petrol had a timing belt, and the td4 had a timing chain, which doesnt need to be replaced. You sure its not a chain shown for the xedi?

Sounds to me like the lady on service reception made a mistake on the vehicle model (probably used to dealing with TD4's rather than the older ones) but then the inclusion of a picture of the aux drive-belt routing is adding confusion to this discussion as it is a different thing altogether.

I have not dealt with my local dealers service reception for years (ever since they quoted me £700 for a Disco TD5 service:eek:) but at that time it seemed that an essential requirement for the job was to know feck all about vehicles:dizzy:

Its a soft ware package called autodata most smaller garages use it very usefull if you work on a number of different make's of car as i do. Quite expensive if you don't used it often, but you can get hooky discs..........apparrently;)
 
The trouble is your freelander is on a w reg

there are also early td4's on a w reg

you need to give them the VIN/chassis number as this relates to the manufactured vehicle not the letter on the plate

hope that helps
