trt1617 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 hello all i have a couple of question for you that hopefully some oe will be able to point me in the rite direction i have a 300tdi from a 96 plate disco in my 90 and seen to have a bearing noise from the pulley that the viscous fan would be on if i had one have removed the belt and spun the pulley and it sounds really bad. can the bearing be replaced or is it part of the timeing chest and not replaceable seperatly? if it can be done has anyone done one,ie how hard and any special tools req???? second one is lookin into doing the cambelt as not sure when it was done last and been loking at belt kits on various sites and there seen to be 2 kits an early or late one any idea what kit i would need????? and do you get every thing you need in the kit or is it onr of those kits where you get it all in bits and realize there is a gasket or a seal thats not in the kit that you need???? many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Attryde Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 The fan pulley bearing is removable, however the actual bearing seems to be difficult to get as the original manufacturer no longer makes it. It must be available as you can buy a replacement cover with a new bearing in it, but as yet I have not managed to track one down. This thread is as far as I got :- click here Pete.

There is an Oz firm selling them on ebay believe it or not. See http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190222773322&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT £49.32 plus postage. Or if you're in Tasmania you could pop in and get them to fit it. Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Attryde Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Yep well aware of the bearing from Tasmania. However, it should be possible to by the bearing in this country for about a £10 (if I can find a suitable supplier) and the replacement cover including the bearing, etc was only about £90 and less hassle.
