Thread: timing belt service - 3 questions???

Thanks for those comments - the only reason for asking about the crank bolt was that on a Youtube Vid the guy replaced it - so I wont worry about it.

Ford Territory engine - forgot about that - thanks I will try the local ford dealer - actually $168 at my local Ford Dealer but none held by Ford Aust but next shipment is in on 21 Sep.

Cheers

Garry

Yes, but don't get the crank bolt from Ford as it is 1/3 the price from a Land Rover dealer

If you are replacing the oil pump you must replace the crank bolt. The bolt is torque to yield and single use only.

Oh OK - thanks - that is why the guy in the vid did it as he did the oil pump as I will be doing.

I am surprised at the costs of some things - LR oil pump $450 (Ford $169), Dayco Timing belt kit with idlers ($495) - not yet priced the serpentine belt kit or the HP injection belt kit.

Given a typical price to to this job of about $2500 - $3000 there is not a lot left for labour if genuine LR parts are used as many shops would use.

Thanks for the clarification on these issues.

Now to start getting the various kits and wait for Ford to get some oil pumps in country.

The genuine LR belts I took off a 3.0 Sport were branded Dayco.

Dayco cam belt and HP belt kit with all tensioners and idlers are $220 AUD in the UK - shipping extra. Pricing indicates about $600 here.

Genuine LR Oil Pump is about the same price in the UK as here - so the Ford option is the way to go. I will order it at the local Ford dealer so when they come in I will have one allocated for me.

Not saying it's right or wrong as I haven't checked but make sure the oil pumps ARE the same - LR often modify lubrication systems for the expected off-road use/angles encountered etc.

Definitely the same part Tombie. Parts guy in the local Ford dealer was telling me their original stocks (of oil pumps and other parts for the TDV6 engine) actually came in Land Rover branded boxes as well.
