I'd imagine its was a MASSIVE effort just to source the parts!

It'd be a beer well earned at the end mate, hell, the money you save on labour costs, you could buy a pallet of Crownies, and still have change!

Not a massive pain at all actually.. try here



Paddock Spares - Land Rover, Range Rover Parts & Accessories - Discovery, Defender and Freelander

very good to deal with.. shipped to perth in 4 days.. takes longer sending stuff from brizzy to perth

Okies so, I shall venture forth and take some pics... Need to get the show on the road

Need to turn all of these parts to magically being on the car



For some reason, the previous changer of the belt thought that it was a great idea to not use the already in place timing marker and make there own. Which now doesnt work... because I think that it is a tooth out.



Okies, so tensioner looks okay but the idler is not so good... caught it in time I would say



This is obviously what happens when the bearing in your water pump fails... previous owner, not me.



There she is in all of her glory!!





bit of crap in the radiator...plus what is left here.. man where did all of these leaves come from?

okay, bit of an update. Water pump and associated pulleys are back on Got the timing belt off and everything marked up and set. Just need to take a trip down to repco and get me some fittings

Glow plugs are in.... off to repco now

Ok, more of an update. Everything is in and timed correctly. There was a little issue with the fuel pump timing. But you can find out how to time one of these here

And as you can see, everything is almost back to where it should be.



Just need to loctite and torque up the crankshaft pulley

Looking good mate! When can I book you in to do mine?

Going great guns mate!! Thanks for the pics, it's great to get an idea on what's what and what to expect if/when others may want to do the same.
