western Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Use only a DAYCO belt, IIRC they supplied LR as OEM I get mine from my local indy LR parts guy at the other end of town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderman Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Christian Autos , Kingswood , Bristol. Pete at CA will only supply gen LR and Dayco belts . Dont forget to change the tensioner(defender) and idler(disco). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I get these items from Bearmach - they supply only Dayco or genuine if you prefer. Head gaskets are usually Payen as well, so these are proven quality items and not occasionally su-standard rubbish, such as their water pumps. Les.

freeagent Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Dayco supply landrover, as do Gates, so either would be fine... Dayco and Gates are both huge belt and drive system manufacturers and are of superb quality... i would go to Bearmach, if you buy from Paddocks, make sure you don't end up with britpart stuff as its usually carp. hope this helps. m@tt.

geoffbeaumont Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I got a kit from MM4x4 last week when Les did mine (as Bearmach was out of stock) - it was cheaper than Bearmach but also short some of the parts which are best (but don't have to be) replaced, so probably not recommended. Don't know what make of parts were supplied as I had it delivered direct to Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selectcase Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 Cheers for the advice i see L.E.G.S also appear to do quality parts and gaskets thanks will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 As Ciderman said, give Pete a ring. He's in Bristol but he'll post stuff and the customer service is second to none. I bought a speedo cable and it broke a week later. I'd may have installed it badly (did it in the dark, I probably left a tight curve in there somewhere) but when I went back to buy another, he remembered I'd bought one recently and wouldn't let me pay. Just one example of five years of outstanding service for me. My parents live 10 miles from DLS/Paddock and I'm driving past Craddocks on the way home to do my cylinder head gasket at Christmas, but I still get the parts from Pete.

ciderman Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Yes ! It has to be said that Pete Davis from Christian Autos is a local star in the Land Rover community. He also delivers within a 5 mile radius of his shop . He seems to have the know how on what bits you need when you tell him what job your doing , he knows every gasket ,clip,fastner that you could possibly need . I just wish you could park any where near his shop, Its a nightmare . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
