Changing the cambelt on a Land Rover Discovery 300 TDI (HD)

John Paul at Rimmer Bros describes the process of changing the cambelt on a 300 TDI.
If you need more in depth videos with regards to the replacement of the radiator, serpentine belt or viscous fan, we have videos in the 300TDI playlist to reference.

Where at the back of the 300TDi engine is the crankshaft locking pin used? I've searched web over and no one has bothered to mention it. It is assumed everyone is fully knowledgeable about the engine. Please help

Hi. I use a metric fine bolt ground to a flat ended point about 40 degrees included angle on the end I think it’s around M14 into the hole directly at the bottom of the flywheel housing. It’s not a hole in the flywheel it’s a slot and it lines up at the timing point when the other marks are in position so you can carefully thread it in by hand whilst moving the crank back and forth slightly so you feel it engage correctly

Hi I’ve got a 1995 Range Rover Discovery TDI 2.4 exactly like the one you are working on,and I want to block off the exhaust pipe to stop recycling the air and disconnecting the solenoid ERR 3314 . My vacuum pipes have all disintegrated could you do a film on this please thanks 👍👍👍🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🍺🍺 I’m in NZ

Só the crank damper but is torqued to 80 NM then 90 degrees? I thought it was 270 NM??? Where did I go wrong??

[@matthewharris4966]

Great informative video, but not quite thorough enough. Unfortunately the filming is cut/stopped or edited at several vital moments. This is a shame, as 2 or 3 minutes more & showing several points that are skipped over would have me confident to do a full service cam belt kit. I'll be doing more thorough research before i go ahead. Still a great informative video. I learned a few things.

Instablaster...

[@wheelinwrekin3443]

You just say 8mm tensioner 45nm what about the idler torque ????????

[@jimnyoff-road3756]

I'm doing timing belt tomorrow,good video mate... If goes wrong,il throw spanners,have mard on,and weigh it in,job done lol Prefer a jimny n e day lol

[@MrHousedog]

Do I need to crank holding tool if I'm using an impact gun

[@RimmerBrosTV]

No, you'll be fine with an impact gun.

[@wheelinwrekin3443]

On the idlers you state 45nm fo one on the inside of belt now what about the one to the right of it what is the fixing how tight should that be ???? And why are you undoing the injection pulley just confused and need to do mine this week help needed

[@Reaper4367]

He undid the bolts on the injection pulley so that after the new tensioner and idler pulley are installed and the new belt goes on there is no chance that the injector pulley will move, which would put out the timing. This way, all the teeth on all the pulley's line up. Hope this helps. :)

Do we have to change the gasket and seal. if so why is this !🚜

[@Tubecraft1]

Just stops mud getting into the belt housing but if you don’t do wading don’t bother

[@finrambo3594]

Thank you

No pay wall means another sub :)

[@Tubecraft1]

Great Zero Waffle video thank you but is there a tool for locking the flywheel when you do 90 deg on the front pulley bolt ?

[@RimmerBrosTV]

Thank you for the feedback, we're glad to hear you found it useful! You can see our timing locking tools here: rimmerbros.com/ItemList--Timing-Locking-Tools--m-23999

[@lma3158]

Thank you EXCELLENT !

[@nigeljefferies8713]

Would have been useful to have the kit reference number for ease of ordering. Good video. Nigel.

[@RimmerBrosTV]

There was a kit reference number at the beginning of the video which is: rimmerbros.com/Item--i-ERR1092KITBP
