There is a bearing there.
Have just discovered a new noise coming from behind the pulley that the viscous hub attaches to on TD5.
On removing the hub and turning it by hand it feels like a bearing breaking down, but as I don't have manual with me at present, just wondering what is behind, inside the timing cover behind the viscous pulley?
Been looking for exploded engine diagram and a description, while my manual is in the post.
There is a bearing there.

Before I had a Land Rover I did not have any torque wrenches. Now I have three.

Behind the timing cover is the timing chain and guides
It doesn't leak oil, Its sweating power
Ther e are good how tos on the internet.
It is pretty easy compared to many TD5 jobs.
Just remember to freeze the bearing and heat the housing.
the original bearing used to cost something like $140 but I note they are much cheaper now.

Here is a very good guide.

OK, thanks all.
I have the hang of it, and relieved that it can be done from the front without removing too much, and that I don't have to remove timing cover.
Anybody know what size the hex key is for the centre of the shaft to lock it?
Looks like I will have to get one to do extraction.
12mm. Also use loctite bearing retainer on new bearing
It doesn't leak oil, Its sweating power
Part number is ERR5285 for the bearing in the front cover.
Contact rovacraft, they have plenty in stock
Having the right tools to hold and undo the holding pulley in place really helpful. Take care with the radiator....I protected mine with metal sheeting but slipped when undoing the flange as needed some force to kick it off and broke the small pipe running off top of radiator - consider removing it and doing other maintenance around area. Also get good feel for heating requirement. Should slip in relatively easily...you don't want to get it stuck half way in....Regards, Mort2
