spud murphy Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hi all Where's the best place for timing belt kits?, anyone got any reccomendations? Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Attryde Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I got mine from Paddocks. Can't remember what the part number was but I got the kit that includes the belt ,the belt tensioner and idler pulley and the crank pulley. Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Bearmach do them STC4095K for the big kit for early vehicles incl timing case etc and STC4096K for the little kit for later vehicles which is basically belt and pulleys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Attryde Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 STC4096L was the kit I got. All though I think I actually got it from Craddocks not Paddocks . Click Here Was well worth it as when I got the front of the engine apart I found that the belt was rubbing on the inside of the front cover and had reduced it's width by about 4mm (compared to the dayco replacement) and filled the cover with rubber dust in the less than 18 months (less than 10,000miles) that I have owned the vehicle, I got the belt changed buy the seller before I bought it. The original crank pulley had no guides for the belt and had allowed it to run forward into the case, the new (cast) pulley has two guides that keep the belt in the correct position. Pete.

BogMonster Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 On yours, the idler or tensioner should have had guide lips on the edge though. If none of the pulleys had lips on then whoever last changed the belt with the previous owner is a tit and put it back together with the wrong combination of bits!!!

The tensioner did have a lip on, however the bearings were pretty much shot so I think this had allowed the belt to move as well. I think that the person who changed the belt did it on the cheap coz I can only find a reciept for a belt and nothing else plus they weren't all that competant as they had also managed to get the pump timing out by 1 tooth so I suspect that they didn't lock it.

Porny Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Get a quote from a Land Rover Dealer before you order the bits... I seem to remember that the STC4096L (I think) was a lot cheaper direct from Land Rover than any of the other suppliers!! I was quite suprised when I found out..

spud murphy Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 Cheers Porny, will do. So used to discounting them out of hand, might be surprised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 The Bearmach kit - doesn't include the crank front seal or timing cover dust seal. Around £70. http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=6943 Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 We were told by LR that they wouldn't supply them any more a couple of years ago and had to order all the bits individually which came to about £400 for the big kit IIRC - the Bearmach kit is a fraction of the cost. So unless LR have re-introduced the kit as a genuine part (probably not as the "official line" is that all affected vehicles will have been covered by now) I doubt you will find one anywhere.

spud murphy Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 Cheers chaps Looking at the above posts I'm a little confused as to wheather the idle and tension roller should have rims on as well as the crank cog, should I be asking if this is so or are are they all like that now??, as they look smooth sided in any of the online pics I've seen. Les, would you have the seal part numbers available so I can track these down?? Cheers again, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 On the mod kit the crank pulley should have lips and the idler/tensioner should not have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 300TDi Disco crankshaft oil seal is part number ERR4575 300TDi Disco timing cover seal is part number ERR4576 There's also an O-ring behing the crankshaft timing belt sprocket. Some people recommend changing this at the same time. Part number for this is ERR4710 No doubt Ralph will flame me if this is wrong Les.

Porny Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 STC4096L = £98.35 + vat from my local Land Rover Dealer (need to order it in though - 2 days)... has gone up a bit in price then, as the last one I bought was only £60 or there abouts.
