anyone know what the sound is, cannot find a rattlesnake
Sound like squeaking you could be right
Is tensioner pulley bracket cracked pulling the belt to one side?
Also whats the best replacement belt to get, can someone give me a link for it, I like to buy from Island
Yep I think your right, I fixed it about 3 years ago pulled it apart and made it work again, do you think I can repair it again, or just buy another one? and a new belt?
I went original after @Rick-the-Pick said he'd had 3 in 12 years. My vain hope was that it would last - so far so good. Rick strengthened his I think by welding something on?
Got a feeling I got a Gates belt from somewhere.
You need STC4455. DAYCO is OEM at about £6.50 two year warranty. Land rover (wait for this) £55.12 one year warranty. Guess the one i would use. Island only have Britpart.
Island have the OEM part in stock the below is all Island
1 x Fan Belt Tensioner Ram (OEM) STC4168
1 x Belt Air Con 2.5 TD (Dayco) STC2326 STC3397
1 x Belt Fan 2.5TD BMW (Dayco) STC4455G
Yea that bracket I managed to fix that, its an easy fix, it just got still I think, you can take it apart easy for repairing STC4608Original was STC2129 but could be damaged if incorrect leverage was used over centring it. Discontinued. Newer and stronger version is STC4608 but they cost a few pennies. MUST be totally free on it's pivot.
