    Smile ZEUS TIMING GEARS 300TDI

    Hi Guys. I have had my Zeus timing kit fitted to my Defender 110. Have been very pleased with it. I have developed an oil leak from the crank shaft seal. Has anyone out there had any dealings with Yican lately? I rang them the other day and have had no response. I need an oil seal for the Zeus timing kit. Alternate part number etc. Any help would be appreciated

    According to Zeus UK - Yican no longer represent them.

    I assume you have read up on the very high rate of failures of these gears?

    Zeus timing gears

    Thanks for that guys. Will go direct to the UK. My Zeus gears have been fitted for 110,000kms and have no problems with them, except that they make the TDI even nosier! Thanks for that guys. Cheers Bill

    To be honest, im not sure if it can accurately be called a HIGH rate of failure, but yes there have been some.

    You are probably right, but certainly the build quality is very poor from the ones I have seen.
