Im not quoting a Landrover part, I purchased mine from R&E autos, it was a Dayco and came in a box as does the Gates.Quote:

You either have a good mate in the trade or the bloke that sold it to you sold it too cheap as they are much more than $30 at cost.
Same for seals and bearings
Go to SKF or some where like that, same seals, you just don`t pay for a landrover package, a LOT cheaper
Thnaks for the advice. I'll go searching for belts.
I had one break at 69000km. I would normally consider 70000km safe though.Quote:

That sounds to me like it was over tensioned, Ive been told by a few LR mechanics that that is why they fail prematurely.Quote:
