Hi All
I have a 11/01 TD5 Defender 130 and broke the Aux drive belt yesterday, it was towed by NRMA to the linked garage and I asked them to replace it. I had a new one in the truck that I had purchased earlier. They informed me later that it was too short and couldn't get it on. They were not sure exactly how it fitted as the old one wasn't there any more. The one I had purchased was I believe 1800 long. The garage did some checking and have ordered one 1820 long to arrive overnight if I am lucky. No one in town has any parts for Lrovers. I rang woodleys in Tamworth who used to be the Lrover dealers. I was informed that there is only I belt listed for my vechicle and it is the 1800 long belt. I also ordeded this belt to arrive today. Can anyone tell me which belt is correct and whether the mechanic in town is fitting it correctly, assuming that the 1800 belt is the correct one? The Defender has air conditioning. I don't have a service book with a belt fitting diagram, would anyone have this so I can show the mechanic?
I live out of town and need the truck going today as its my farm ute.
Cheers and Thankyou :)
