Land Rover Discovery 3 / LR3 - 1000 Euro repair fixed for 100 Euro? Possible?

[@jonatday]

My tip, Always cut the belt gradually until it slowly releases the belt tension, do not release the belt tension by undoing the tensioner bolt, because as you get to the end of the thread, the spring tension can ping it off and break the thread lug off the cylinder head, best to learn from the mistakes of others.......😉 Great videos as always... .....thanks

[@hughjanus3347]

Well Christian/Vera - I did the job yesterday (under a gloriously sunny warm Corsican sky unlike poor you!) and although my method varied slightly from yours, it was 100% successful, not even a bing or a bing and no spurious messages on startup! My 2 specialists refused (because it's too much trouble no doubt); & the LR stealer in Vannes had asked €2500 (Timing belt at same time with body off). The only other vid on YT showing the job is terrible and unedited. Your vid gave me a logical progression and saved me from working 'in the dark' which is often a confidence-breaker. Now it's done I'd say it's fiddly but not difficult. PS The coating on the toothed side of the belt is I believe fibreglass not Teflon. I had the same issue as you (break in the coating, which implies it's 'normal') but my belt is a Dayco (as was the installed belt). NB neither belt had a date or rotation arrow. Keep up the good work, brilliant channel ( the regularity is so important to subscribers as you know) and a major contribution to the Discovery community.

When designers come up with stuff like this, where service items are so difficult to reach, they should be prevented from ever working as designers again. Preferably by throwing them off a roof into a wood-chipper. Even worse, the designers of the LR3 should have been forced to own one for 20 years and carry out ALL the servicing and maintenance themselves. Maybe that'd be too sadistic though?

Nice to see the old Charger in the background. Time passes... Now there's a Queen and a Prince there.

[@martinhartog1043]

Great video as always, thank you! You can save time by not undoing any ECU and TCM connectors. There is enough space when you remove the coolant pipe that runs across the engine, and the bracket that holds the wiring loom at the back of the engine. You can then pull the wiring loom towards you which creates enough space to get the belt cover out and replace the belt. I always insert the new belt tensioner first, easier to locate it correctly in its insert without the extra tension or presence of the belt. The new belt simply will slide over the tensioner when lifting it over the wheel.

[@Discoworx]

Ive just started this job. Got the coolant pipe off and scratching my head. I'll try it this way, thanks.

Thanks for another great video well done When I did this job on my D3 it didn’t appear to have as much space as you did to access the belt and struggled to do the job with my big hands One tip though it’s recommended to cut the old belt to get it off as unscrewing the bolt in the tensioner when it gets to the last couple of threads the tension still present can tear the last couple of threads out and you may have to take the body off to re-tap the thread Regards

Before disconnecting plugs where possible label and draw a couple of arrows facing each other. Use 'AAA' on both sides of first plug/socket, 'BBB' on the next etc. If needed use paper labels tied on with string etc. Yes it takes a few seconds but will give a huge boost in confidence that all plugs are replaced properly and with the right orientation. Often it is obvious but as you get tired a little help goes a long way.

I love your videos & I don't even own a D3, but Land Rover made the D3 far too complicated for me to work on. I like a 4x4 I can spend time driving rather than more time spent fixing it, that's why I drive an old 02 Discovery 2 & only give it a routine service once a year, & if anything falls off & it still drives then that part probably wasn't needed in the first place. Things went badly wrong for Land Rover after Germany sold what was once a great 4x4 off. If I had the chance to buy a new 4x4, then I'd buy anything but a modern LR. Have you ever considered doing a "retro" series of videos on a D2 or a real Defender?

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Well, we would have to buy one first. Since we don't really make any money with KZbin, our content is mainly based on what we own at the time. Buying a car just for KZbin content, we would need a lot more subscribers and, most importantly, viewers. But if that time comes, we would love to get a Defender.

You can't get to it from the dash area as the bulkhead aka firewall is in the way. Why is the belt at the back?

German inginuity, engineering know how doing stuff well. What a mixture british design flaws with you sorting it out however i was shocked at the aftermarket bosch belt with tooth issue however for the original belt not breaking in over 180000 kms shows at least land rover got something right. Imagine if they had japanese electrics and lexus quality mechanics. There are some rubbish toyotas and some good suzuki engineering as proven by the use of suzuki engines in experimental aircraft in aeromomentum engines. A very underated company. Their main fault is their finish on parts as they corrode badly but the rest of them is normally really solid. Built to a price so corners are cut but even maruti suzuki vans like their 800cc van are hammered in india but are very reliable and cheap but mechanics earn poor wages so its very cheap to service them compared to europe or usa.

You need to get a harness that will support you horizontally over the engine in any orientation you choose. So many times I've seen your feet sticking out - it must be painful experience laying there for hours on end. Shouldn't be too hard to build using x-y table from a suitable cnc.

No unfortunately there is no Haynes Manual. We use the digital Land Rover Manual. 🙋‍♀️ Vera
