Discovery 4 Timing belt failure

[Darby]

Just had this unfortunate experience and wonder if others would like to share their experiences with me

[veebs]

Never heard of it - how old / how many km has the car done?

[Eric SDV6SE]

Yes, definitely not common. IIRC Std replacement interval is every 7 years or 160,000km.

Has belt failure been confirmed ?, its more likely another component in the timing gear or possibly chain/tensioner has failed.
The tensioner mount on my 2.7 D3 broke and i was able to repair it easily and cheaply.
