Has anyone come across a shortage of genuine Land Rover timing belts? I had the Icemaiden booked in at my local dealer for the 84 month service & was told they will have to cancel it as they have no known date for the belts to come into stock. They we suggesting months rather than weeks!
Originals do seem hard to find online at the moment. I was considering sourcing them myself & getting the dealer to fit it.

Disco_Mikey mentioned the shortage the other day ( he would know ). I doubt if a dealer would fit your supplied parts tbh. You’ll probably have to wait until the items are available.D3 owned from new, P017 brake recall, BAS FBHIC, new FBH, LR013487 oil pump, new water pump. RRS front lower suspension arms. New suspension compressor/ relay. New Denso alternator. CuNifer rear brake pipes. New GKN rear propshaft. New HPFP belt & tensioner. New A/C Condenser.NO WARRANTY for many many years.

If you are afraid of waiting just buy the OEM Part. LR is not manufacturing the belts. Daico, Conti….are the supplier.Achim

I think the problem is that even the likes of the Dayco kit are in short supply, I more Advanced Factors are quoting a date of the 27th June for Dayco kits for the 3.0 engine.
