Thread: 85000km timing belt replacement as done by KIE4

Guy's had Rich (KIE4) come over to do my timing belt replacement...got the landy all ready up on stands, removed the front wheels, compressor going and a dual work light on a high tripod..before he got here I removed the top rad and I/C hoses, viscous fan ,cowling and serpentine belts.. Well I was looking forward to watching how a pro did it...well Rich turns up and an hour and half later the job is done..I shouldn't have blinked because I could have missed it..
Well the removed bearings were a little noisy but interestingly the belt looked as good as the new one out of the box..all my worry approaching the 90000km mark was for nought...and on top of that the amount he charged for the labour I could have him replace 6 timing belts for the price of 1 change from one of Perths more reputable independent repairers..
So Landrover owners in Perth use him..not worth getting your hands dirty for his most reasonable charge for labour..Thankyou Rich for a job well done..
See you down at Harvey today..
