Reply With QuoteHi Tim, it doesn't look as though it has been bashed around too much so it may turn out well. Good luck. Ross.

SubscriberI'm a mechanical novice, but keen to learn - so I've bought myself something to learn on. A 1997 300Tdi 130.
Purchased sight unseen, haven't collected it yet. Hopefully it will turn out OK and be something I can play around with without fear of putting my daily driver off the road.
Seller unsure of when timing belt was last changed - so that is notionally first up. My plan is to stump up the $10 for the instructional video from the trailerfitters toolbox and give it a go!
Does anyone recognise the vehicle and know anything about it? Its been in the Benella area. PM me if you'd prefer. I may have bought a lemon, but it's not then end of the world if I have.

not sure why you would want to spend $10 on a video on how to do a single maintenance item when you can buy the rave CD suitable to the vehicle from the shop and then eyeball your way though the search engine to find a bunch of how to threads with all kinds of extra info.
the words Timing belt change in the basic search box bring up some 500 odd answers and if you go advanced and limit it to the technical forums that will probably become a lot more managable.
welcome to the forums mate, it is what Land Rover Assist should have been in the first place.

If you've benefited from one or more of my posts please remember, your taxes paid for my skill sets, I'm just trying to make sure you get your monies worth.
If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.

Tim, I have the locking pins/bolts for doing the timing belt if you require them.
It is rather easy to do, a novice could knock it over in a day.
Curious on the plans for this one!?

just adds to the mystery of why you would pay $10 for them...

SubscriberI have Rave for my Td5 and will definitely get the 300tdi edition too. I find the videos suit my learning style and have no problem coughing up a tenner for it.

Because not everyone is aware of the resources available and where to find them. At least he's here now and hopefully willing to look, listen and learn.

The 300tdi info should be on the Rave CD that you have.
Cheers, Mick.
