reb78 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I used to buy 200tdi timing belt kits from Glencoyne when I needed them, but they aren't on the website there anymore. Where you you buying yours? I could buy the individual parts - I know to get a Dayco belt but what tensioner brand do I look for? The Turner site suggests INA (LRDIRECT are cheaper) but i have never heard of them!

reb78 Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Just to add, in case its useful, individual part numbers for the defender 200tdi: ETC8550 - timing belt ERR2530 - tensioner ETC4154 - front cover seal ERR1553 - front cover seal ERC5655 - water pump seal Would anyone add anything else to this?

Retroanaconda Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 INA are a decent brand and are what I have always used in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Got a Turners tensioner on mine now done during the engine rebuild. Usually get the required bits from my local landy parts shop near me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Sort of topical for me - My new 200tdi Discovery front crank seal has started leaking - it’s only been in a couple of months 😩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 For a 300Tdi but I normally just buy a kit through Bearmach as it's all OEM stuff that comes in the box, but I also have a discount with them too so that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I used to buy the kits but they don’t come with everything so you still need to add the extra bits like gaskets etc. I always have a couple of water pump bolts spare given their propensity for snapping, and if they are looking worse for wear when removed they get replaced in an attempt to pre-empt said snapping for next time it comes apart. Mine is going to be due some time this November/December. Hopefully have the workshop ready by then as the air gun certainly makes things easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 The Bearmach one (for a 300Tdi) does come with the necessary gasket. OK it doesn't come with the spare bolts as you mention but then who snaps bolts when changing the timing belt ? 25 minutes ago, Retroanaconda said: as the air gun certainly makes things easier Bah - battery power, don't need the compressor then . Also an issue in the new place in that the compressor is not usually where the vehicle is until I finish tearing down / rebuilding the barn.

miketomcat Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Most of the kits come with the tensioner but not the idler (disco 200tdi). Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 I have ordered the bits seperately now. I get to choose the make of the bits and bobs then. Most of the kits only seemed to give a brand for the belt, but the tensioner is just as important and OEM means nothing much these days!
