Thread: Timing belt replacement cost for a 300tdi Defender???

I had the timing belt done on my 98 D1 with 300Tdi for around $600 I think it was at the start of the year.

The kit was around the $300 mark, the rest was labour.

Hi

I did similar and also did harmonic balancer with similar money.

I also need the oil seal replaced at the front of the motor.

I am just rying to work out my budget...after recently forking out $6500 for a new gearbox, transfer and clutch, my budget is looking very bad!

Jsus 6.5K , they saw you coming .

Agree with that.You can buy crate R380's for $3800. Pat

I had a lot of work done for that money.

Reconditioned R380 Gearbox
Reconditioned LT230 Transfer Case
New clutch kit
Machined fly wheel
New engine rear main seal
New tail shafts
Reconditioned handbrake mechanism
2nd hand clutch pedal box
Resleeved slave cylinder
new clutch master cylider...

It's a sh1tload of stuffed parts on a car that has only done 190,000kms.... The previous owner must have driven it like it was stolen.
