Plus the weight apparently is something else too.

The Tdi's are pretty good these days.

Apparently they are noisy as hell too.

The thing that I considered most when buying another LandRover ( after a catastrophic 1HDT timing belt failure ) was 'does it have a timing belt ?'.

which is why I chose a Td5

so anyone here tried a Zeuss Timing gear kit on a Tdi. If I had Tdi it would be a priority for me & if I'd known they were available I might have considered Tdi instead of Td5 ???

Just searched my email.

It was £74.99 including postage in Feb 2012 from LRDirect.

No idea how long it took. My memory is not that good. :)

zues gears are good under 2 conditions

1. you get a good set that have been correctly hardened
2. you get them installed perfectly.

if you get those 2 requirements they are set and forget

I heard there was something to do with the cut of the gears causing excessive side loading to even the the case hardening coming off that could be put down to a number of factors but I sure it's been discussed to death

Correct me if I'm wrong but a td5 doesn't have a timing belt does it?

nope, chain.
