Rather embarrassing further ask - timing belts etc.
I'm increasingly aware that I have added nothing of value to anyone else's threads and have thus far only sought advice.
Anyone need input on CB500 Four, I'm down, but currently an early learner on Disco 3.
So, with apologies and once again, I bought the D3 a couple of months ago at 127,500 miles with regular service history. Absolutely love it.
I spoke just now with the garage that did the last 6 services. The gentleman there was terrifically helpful and ran through the detail of their last service at 118,000 miles, including oil change, brake fluid, EPB pads and a note to return to have the timing belts changed.
The last bit didn't happen and is now down to me.
Does this kit include everything I need?
Thanks

Never ever, ever, ever worry about asking questions or seeking advice. Guaranteed you won’t be the only one wanting/needing the answer. To paraphrase an old geology prof of mine, the only daft question is the one never asked.
I’d just worry about the quality of the answer, esp if the avatar is a frosty Skoda bonnet badge.

The professors do say that, don’t they, but in reality they’re just as ashamed for silly questions as the rest of the audience

I usually got a “now that’s a good question!” as they frantically tried to figure out an answer to my extremely left field question. Either that or bribery worked.

Firstly thanks for the forbearance.
My recollections of education were rather more along the lines of ‘pay attention at the back’ as the board duster skimmed an ear.
Vehicle is 2005
Attached is the image I forgot earlier.
I also found a thread by Disco Mikey but the photos have gone AWOL.
Also a very clear YouTube video by Raw Toast TV which looks to track the same process.
Rear belt looks to be one for a gynaecologist. What could possibly go wrong?
Thanks

Don’t forget you need a locking kit off eBay.
Get one in a red box for around £15

thanks, was wondering about a couple of drill bits, but probably rather high risk given what’s at stake?
Is the oil pump change just good to do whilst in there, or does that relate to the failures that got me worried?
I still haven’t figured if I have the right or the less right one. 2005.

A 2005 isn’t mega high risk of failure, but people say they should be done now because of age.
Helps with both cambelt tensioner mounting and more oil pressure
If changing oil pump you will need the locking kit. It’s quite a bit of extra work, but good piece of mind
Make sure the belt kit says for a 2005
The fuel belt can be different

If you do change the oil pump, you will also need a crankshaft front oil seal ( only fit a genuine LR one), and a new crankshaft front pulley bolt ( which is a ‘one shot’ and throw it away jobbie).D3 owned from new, P017 brake recall, BAS FBHIC, new FBH, LR013487 oil pump, new water pump. RRS front lower suspension arms. New suspension compressor/ relay. New Denso alternator. CuNifer rear brake pipes. New GKN rear propshaft. New HPFP belt & tensioner. New A/C Condenser.NO WARRANTY for many many years.

Thanks both, I feared an expanding workload.
I'll take a look at parts and revert for confirmation

While you are at it, change the water pump and aux belt as well. Aux belt needs to come off anyway, and the water pump is three bolts and some spilled coolant. Best of luck! Changed mine, oil pump and all, a couple of months ago. Take your time, it's not a terrible job, and it gives you enormous peace of mind once it's done.

Only need to change oil pump if its the old type casing, if new type and crank seal dry leave well alone, oil pumps dont tend to wear out until the whole engine is worn out.
