Land Rover Discovery 3: Timing Chain Cover Removal, Water Pump Removal and Fan Idler Removal

[@roberttruman8332]

After two minutes I was reaching for the Valium!!! Very well done. I’ve done quite a bit on my D3 but I’m a bit too scared to do the timing chain. Good luck and thank you. 👍 my third brake light is all good now thank you. Just done a 1000 mile round trip to the Lake District with no warning lights or any issues 😀

Mate! I am gonna go full belt and braces, starter motor out to lock off the fly wheel and paint pen on every part that moves so I can be certain nothing moves! I was too scared to do it but too cheap to pay for someone else to do it! 😂 the fan jumping off has forced my hand so just gonna hit and hope! Pleased that the rear break light is holding up! That’s a proper shit job! I still have nightmares about it!

Thanks for taking the time to video this. I’ve done the rear timing belt on my new Disco 3 and it was a pain but manageable. I’ve got to do the front belt and oil pump next so this was helpful. I look forward to seeing the rest of the videos. Don’t beat yourself up about the mistakes. Happens to us all! Keep the videos coming 😎

Hi mate, I am debating doing the rear belt as the kit I have bought from LR parts has all 3 belts in it, so I am thinking I may as well get all the pain done at the same time. The oil pump, water pump and timing locking kit have all been ordered so once it’s all here and I get a few free days I’ll be getting stuck in. Thanks for the comment
