Freelander 2 (LR2) Timing Belt kits - any advice?

dfossil · May 4, 2020

Any thoughts from yous yins as to whats good and whats not in the FL2 TD4 Timing belt kit inc water pump stakes? Gates at circa £85 seems to be fairly popular and well priced - Dayco can be a little cheaper but more folk seem to favour Gates.
What do you think?
The car's done 97K miles and is 10 years old so It's gonna get done - but we don't do more than 3K or 4K a year now so I don't think Genuine at circa £160 - bloody sight more from a Main Stealer - is worth it.

OEM or Gates. I find dayco to be a bit lower on quality really....

I would always use OEM where I could. Doesn’t matter how old it is if you want it to perform like a Land Rover. If you want to save money buy a Skoda.
