Land Rover 200tdi Timing Belt -From Broken Belt to Retiming the Engine

www.paddockspares.com Paddock and Rover Spares and Accessories. The full story on the 200tdi timing belt. Dealing with a broken timing belt, retiming the 200tdi engine using the correct tools and refitting the rocker shaft. We explore inspection of components and show which ones are likely to fail. Demonstrations are shown using actual fail components on the Land Rover Discovery 200tdi Gemini engine.

All these years on from making the video and your still helping people such as myself, thank you so much! You really have done a great job of breaking this down step by step and managed to fit so much info into this keeping it watchable, none of the usual baffling or out of focus cameras either. Once again thank you !

[@MambaDan]

Thank you! 10 years later and you're still helping.

[@Etiennevisvang]

You have a way of telling us exactly what we have to do to get the job done. Best I have ever seen. good job mate.

[@trailerfitter2]

Thank you.

[@nedshead5906]

I'm pretty confident to tackle my 200tdi after watching this tutorial, cheers mate

[@MrBeamerdave]

[@wheelinwrekin3443]

Fair play mate after watching this video I am now confident enough to attempt my cam belt change fantastic work

[@moienghafari6629]

this was one of the best training video that i've ever seen. excellent

[@246cuevas]

this is the best well described and detailed video EVER . thank you. I'm back on the road.

[@trailerfitter2]

Glad it was of help.

[@bryangrimshaw1208]

that was a really good video. I don't even own a Land Rover but that is one of the most informative videos I've watched. Clear Good dialogue and graphics. Well done.

[@pavelzait2517]

Those engines are an incredible peaces of engineering! I drove one Defender 110 for about 650000 km then the technology new cars appear!It was parked up since 2006 engine still run today (we are talking about a 110 build in 1996)Talking about diesel engine ...our 300 TDI engine is most probably the one for critical situation(agriculture fields )God knows how long an engine like that will run! Super video! Thank you guys!

[@trailerfitter2]

Cheers for the comment. I like the 200tdi above all the smaller diesel for its grunt on acceleration. It was a welcome change from indirect injection diesels that were awkward to start in cold weather.

[@madmechanic9497]

What a great drive, I love the old disco’s I bet they are like driving a tank aren’t they?

[@Alapahauk]

wicked Chanel so glad i found it! thank you for the videos! keep up the good work

[@trailerfitter2]

Welcome. and thank you for the feedback.

[@marklloyd4536]

[@trailerfitter2]

Glad it was of help. Old video now!

[@Reaper4367]

Very detailed mate. Easy to follow instructions/advice that give me the confidence that i'll be able to do mine. Cheers muchly. Thanks for sharing :)

[@trailerfitter2]

[@briansmobile1]

2:43 "Fairly good Whack!" LOVE TAP!!! lol

[@nickj3368]

Excellent informative video well done.

[@Poppageno]

Thanks for the video series! When does the camshaft pulley bolt get torqued?

[@jjt1093]

Im finaly at this stage after rebuiding my 200 Awesome video explain much easier then the manual :) and Finally my cheap ass torque wrench has a use for the belt :)

[@nickjaxe]

Ok thanks...I will have to see if I can cut a section out of the X member, Keep up the good work with you videos. Nick. S3 20odi Nick.

[@tf7645]

Very well made video! I'm interested in buying a 200tdi here in new Zealand, however I have never had any Landrover vehicle experience. Was wondering if you have any precautions or recommendations I should take when purchasing and/or maintaining a landrover 200tdi?

[@benwebb2919]

Grand job, thank you

[@trailerfitter2]

your welcome.

[@YOUCEF-NOREDDINE]

very good bro

[@220274mark]

great video, my van has possibly just had a cambelt failure, will find out after the weekend, im preying its not as it just cost me £800 to get it through the mot last week. :-(

[@nw8000]

Do you do Any Freelander 1 stuff?

[@cheekalover]

would this be the same on a mg zf 1.8 ?

[@richt52]

At 21:48 in the video you mention the valve clearence , how much is needed? But then when yiu tighten the rocker shaft up you just seem to push them down until they touch? I'm a little confused, any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Rich

[@trailerfitter2]

Valve clearance is 0.20mm. some valves will be pushed down when the rocker shaft when fitted ... please watch this video on adjusting valve clearances for the 4 cylinder Land Rover Engines kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6eZlWN7ZtVllc0

[@GasGiant62]

Hi, might have missed it but how do you know the cam shaft pulley is in the right position? Is that white dot & the casting web, (looks at about 8:00 o'clock on the cam pulley) the timing mark? Sorry for not paying attention properly.

[@miqelwild5882]

is it 2.0 td and broken it klapan

[@nickjaxe]

Thanks for your fantastic videos mate...very clear and precise, I wonder if you know of any other way I could get the flywheel in the correct spot when setting up the timing as my 200 engine is fitted in a Series 3 unfortunately there is a big square X member right under where the locking pin screws in with very little clearance. Nick.

[@finrambo3594]

Yes indeed same here but with a 300tdi in a series. I assume that setting the crank key to its mark is sufficient. Is your landy still running ten years on?

[@enricolessanutti4988]

Nella parte finale della sua attività produttiva la Land Rover ha compiuto molti errori di progetto. Uno di questi è il sovraccarico della cinghia di distribuzione con il trascinamento della pompa d'iniezione. È questa la causa del deterioramento precoce della cinghia. Il migliore motore D della Rover fu quello montato sulla 88/109. Apprezzato dagli esperti e dai professionisti.

[@mightymikee]

TF, thanks for the wonderful videos as always. What is your perspective on using aftermarket tapper assembly? I have head that rollers sometimes wear asymmetrically on some of the aftermarket brands. Can individual parts be replaced on the tappet instead of a whole? I am redoing the top end of the Defender 200TDI, any help will be much appreciated.

[@trailerfitter2]

+mightymikee I think it comes down to you get what you pay for. Internals it may pay to be very choosy when buying parts. anything external can be replace fairly quickly so theoretically can be brought cheaper. Do you get my way of thinking?

[@mightymikee]

+Land Rover Toolbox Videos I hear you. Do you replace the tappet assembly as a whole? Is it ok if I just replace the bronze component by itself? One more question, the fuel pump gear, I see that I can be adjusted a little, do you have a video on how to adjust the fuel pump? Thanks!

[@trailerfitter2]

Tappet slider replacement depends on wear of the other components but it is possible to do that FIP pump setting kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5mYZqyjZtijZ9U

[@meggadodge05]

Ok .. so 26 people gave it thumbs down ... would they explian how it should be done ? This looks right to me

[@78mattyk]

If I’m wanting to swap the casings from a defender 200 onto a disco Would it be visa me to time up the disco Then remove parts and put on the the casing ?

[@ChibabaDave]

What is the name of the tool you used to show belt tension please mate?

[@joshwilcox8483]

Are these all imperial sockets ?

[@pinkyi151]

Hi I need someone in NJ/NY who can do this type of repair. thanks.

[@cardoctor4370]

At 2:07 in the video...what is the name of the part that he is spinning with his left hand? and where the hell can i purchase one? I've been looking all over for weeks

[@richt52]

Is the process the exact same for a 200tdi defender engine ?

[@trailerfitter2]

Yes it is.

[@lenvanrooyen6785]

i am battling to refit my new timing belt as it won't slip over the fuel pump gear, i tried refitting the old belt and it goes on perfect, i have tried loosening the fuel pump bolts as explained int he dvd. when comparing the old and new belt they appear to be the same size. On your dvd the tensioner is different, my tensioner has dowel so to speak goes under the idler pulley and locks when the idler is tightened.

[@trailerfitter2]

take the bolt out of the adjuster and let it drop enough to get the belt on.

[@lenvanrooyen6785]

***** Hi i tried that, but didn't work, i got it on by removing the fuel pump gear and fitting it on with the gear, still battled but managed to slip over. Everything was fine for the past week and engine and fuel pump is timed perfect, but now there is a rattling noise coming from what i think is the dust cover plate that fits on the crank pulley, i did tap it down into place on the pulley but i think it has come a bit loose, can i remove that plate? i dont see a need for it besides for dust, dirt etc...

[@trailerfitter2]

Len Van Rooyen Hi again, sorry to hear you are struggling. Happens sometimes. Must be the nature of the beast......With regards to the dust shield....It would be better off the vehicle if you can't secure it properly.

[@lenvanrooyen6785]

***** Took it off, thanks, noise seems to have gone

[@trailerfitter2]

Ah good. Everything is okay now.

[@nickjaxe]

No welded on...but the inspection hole is worth looking into...no pun intended.... Can you get away with just using the TDC mark in the flywheel housing ????

[@TheUnclestein]

Will someone answer that phone?

[@modeduran9819]

i love all your videos but the background music is boring cannot understand your explanation

[@TheNyingi]

hi Paddocks my name is nyingi i want to convert my disco engine V8 to 200/300 tdi

[@chrishiggins1828]

[@miqelwild5882]

?

[@galacticmarinemarmar3825]

11:04 9.5 mm dril wil work also :P

[@belchnasty]

Excellent video but please lose the music in the background. It's a distraction & competes with what youa re trying to get across

[@Devilmyc]

it isn´t 200 tdi , it is 300 tdi

[@trailerfitter2]

How can you tell?

[@Devilmyc]

these engine is 300 tdi

[@trailerfitter2]

You didn't answer my question. I suggest you do you homework then come back to me and explain what the differences are and why you are telling us that this engine in the video is a 300tdi. Telling us why black is white without any explanation to why you are confused doesn't help anyone. I will explain that there are 300tdi parts in the video but the main engine with the green cylinder block seen is the 200tdi engine.
