Anyone know how long it takes and how much to do the
timing belt on a TDV6 D3

I am sure I have seen a tutorial on here somewhere.

I did mine on my previous D3, took me about 16 hours but I didn't rush as I hadn't done one before and time was omn my side.
Not a hard job but you need to be methodical and follow the GTR instructions closely. Worst problem was the removal and replacement of the starter motor.
There are a few pics in my gallery, if you want a copy of instructions PM me.

its every 96k in aus, and the hole service costs about 1500ish if i remember,, its a full major service, and timing belt takes about 4-5 hrs if i rememeber,, as you allso change the high pressure pump belt,

My D3 went to a reputable dealer for its 96,000 km service and the cost did not include a timing belt change nor was there mention of it. Also the LR D3 Maintenance Check List (PM me for a PDF) lists the belt as being changed at 168,000 km (an 'A' service). Ancilliary belt also gets done at the same time.

well we run of the service sheat off land rovers GTR and its normal conditions is 120k;), and in harsh conditions at 96k,

also im prity sure a A service is a minor, with C been the major;),,

its been a long day hope i remember correctly:D

Stig, the GTR Discovery 3 (All Models Rest of World) Maintenance Check Sheet clearly shows to renew the camshaft timing belts, tensioners an tensioner bolt (Diesel) at 168,000km as part of an A service.

Thanks guys mine is being done at 168,000Km as part of the A service
the reason I asked for how long it should take is that the dealer could not get
it done in one day as it is only the second one they have done, I want to make sure
I am not over charged for labour.

Bigmac,
It is a timed service @ 168K Km's, regardless of how long they take they can only charge book time. Normally 2 day turn around.

Might have had a few other bits looked at but that was the price for mine a few weeks ago. (Thanks Greg)

Droped off early and ready later the following afternoon.
