My LR3 is coming due for the Cambelt service at 120k(km). I'm a bit of a home mechanic & have done various VW & an A8 4.2 t-belt/H20 pump service before, so I'm going to attempt doing the work myself. Anyone have tips, links or things to look out for when attempting this. If all goes well I will try to post a some pics of the process.

Not many seem to have the V8 though so you may find it a little slower than normal getting the information you need.   Wed Oct 15 2008 9:00pm Bodsy   Joined: 06 Nov 2006 Location: Somewhere over the rainbow.....

I'd never thought of GTR, I'll certainly do a 1 day subscription & get all the info I can. I'm orderering the kit from my 'nearest' LR dealer(Coventry Lane, Pickering ON) this week. Will post results.  Other toys: Suzuki SV650S Cervelo Dual-Dura Ace ------------------------------------- "Cake or Death?... -Cake please!"   Fri Oct 17 2008 12:16am Bodsy   Joined: 06 Nov 2006 Location: Somewhere over the rainbow..... Posts: 6643   If you can take pics along the way as you're removing bits, that would be REALLY useful. Not that there's many of us that woiuld do somethign like this, but always useful to know how the bits are removed (with photo's) in case there's something else that we need to get to  Auction for Santa Charity fund.

Later that day - long story short - Freelander has t-belt, LR3 has chain - no touchy! Must recheck my sources. I'm finding info. on V8's in general is pretty sketchy. It would be nice if Bentley's got around to publishing a manual for the D3/LR3. Good news is, basically 120km service is regular service & diff. box oil change. They can do that one. Still learning about these beasts. I've only had mine 2 weeks & it's amazing.
