Mutley Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Doing the timing belt in a couple of weeks so thought i would change all the seals at the same time and use GENUINE seals as recommended or Corteco! All was good until i looked up ERR7143 WOW that's some fancy price for a Genuine seal!?!..... Compared to the other's i would like to think the metal part is actually gold!!! Now i have to tell the Boss the price of this "Wont cost that much to do honestly!" Job is now "I know i said HONESTLY, but you forgot to figure in Land Rover's hidden NEW PARTS PRICE HIKE!!!"...... Yeah that should work!?! NOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Given it is the outside seal, I would just put a corteco or bearmach branded on in, it is not the end of the world to change like a rear crank seal, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 @Bowie69 i could live with that and more to the point the Boss might let me live long enough to fit it, or at least see the sun rise tomorrow!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackshifter Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Or, you could not bother changing it. It doesn't do anything except keep dust out of the timing case. Or maybe keep timing case dust out of environment. Point is it doesn't hold any oil back. The one inside it under the timing sprocket is the one that does the work,that plus the O ring are a good idea to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
