RichardK from down under has just done his.
Do a search and he might pm you the detail.
I got mine done at the dealer - not brave enough!I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Can anyone let me know whether my Discovery 3 has a timing belt that needs replacing or if it is chain driven - I can't find anything in my manual??

The rear belt is not a timing belt it is the belt drive to the fuel pump and according to GTR documents is not timed to the motor.
I haven't done that one yet and won't be doing it for some time now as I have just committed myself to my job for another 4 years. The result of this is that I have just ordered another new D3
