    LR Dealer ****ER!!!!

    Well.....
    Called my local LR dealer to get service history print out on a Defender l just purchased. When speaking with the Rover Service Advisor he mentioned the vehicle has not had it's timing belt done and it should be done every 7 years. That if it breaks l may damage the engine.

    While he was yabbering on, I am thinking to myself this seems strange - as l have had 2 previous TD5s and dont recall ever doing a timing belt. I say - ok no worries. I'll call you back if/when l want to book it in.

    I am correct in saying the TD5 has a timing chain - which does not require service?

    hahaha.
    Say no more.

    I have considered sending it in for the 'timing belt' to be done. The Service Advisor was quite insistent that l should have it done as the 'vehicle is more than 7 years old'.

    Interesting to see what happens....or would that be just cruel?

    haha.....l am a sad, sad man!

    I'd ask for a detailed written quote on the work they recommend and see what they dream up - sounds like your "advisor" doesn't know the difference between a timing belt and an accessory drive belt?

    Don't forget to mention that the flux capacitor also needs to be inspected
