I have just purchased a 200,000km Defender TD5, I am binge watching all of your vides, so usefull.

[@HTD2]

Thank you for the clean and easy narration

[@lma3158]

The right no for the automatic tensioner is ERR 4708, everythong else just perfect, thanks

[@tonydarby9096]

Thank you for that, did not know there might be two lengths, although I had a spare belt, was not sure it was the right length. As I am off on a long trip soon, decided to take off old belt. It was in much the same bad condition as yours. Luck had it I had the right spare and got it on nicely without taking off fan.

[@supermarinespitfire1]

thank you!

Thanks for this great video! I'm willing to change my squeezy belt and tensioner next week. But My D1 300 TDI has a compressor with a separate belt. How do I have to tighten that belt? I think it isn't a tensioner with a spring.

Always great

[@trailerfitter2]

Thank you. Happy to hear that.

[@vincea1401]

Do you have a référence for the roller of the tensioner pulley ?

[@falste81]

Thank you for your videos. They really help me a lot. Could it be that the number for the automatic tensioner is ERR 4708 instead of ERR 4707 because I can not find anything if I search for ERR 4707.

[@lma3158]

You are very right, ERR 4708 is correct. The ERR 4707 is the old nr for LHH100660 which is the crankshaft pulley for the timing belt . Best regards

[@davedevine2623]

Just remeber if you just change the idla bearing its on reverse bolt

[@MrBsmurfy]

I have a 200tdi which was modified with a 300tdi from a discovery. ..how do I tell which belt I need? Can't see it printed on it.

[@MrBsmurfy]

Rewatched the videos. ...best way to take the belt off and measure 1580 🆚 1595?

[@trailerfitter2]

It's only the size of the alternator pulley that determines the ength of the belt.

[@MrBsmurfy]

Land Rover Toolbox Videos thanks for the reply. Relatively recent purchase and am a novice....tbh if it wasn't for your channel I don't think I would have plumbed for it! I don't see any markings on the belt and assume the alternator pulley won't be identifiable so might get both belts and send the wrong one back...
