Cam belt

Hi everyone, just had the cam belt change done on my 08 Disco along with service at 85000 miles by a main dealer. All seems fine other than I now have a small coolant leak (beads of orange coolant on sump cover). Are any of the coolant hoses removed and replaced during the belt change?

BTW- belt change and service came to £900.

Yes, coolant hoses are disturbed during a belt change.

Monitor the level for the next few days/weeks, and see if it drops Thumbs Up

EDIT: Did the £900 include an oil pump? My D3 Build Thread

thanks for the comment. Actual price for the 105K service (manufacturers spec) was £727 plus vat. MOT and other remedial work pushed it up. The oil pump wasn't changed.
Since the work has been done I've had to put 1 & 1/2 L of de-ionised water in to keep it within band on coolant header bottle. Booked it back in to get it looked at. Unfortunately I don't have the facility to get underneath, remove the plate and take a look.
To add insult to injury the upper tail gate latch has stopped working too! I can hear the solenoid operating when attempting to open but I suspect the cable has parted. I've read plenty about getting access to the lower tail gate internals but that carpet panel is a Censored .
Cheers.

If someone told me a timing belt, and oil change would cost me £900, you would have to pick me up off the floor Shocked

If it included the oil pump, then it's not so bad... My D3 Build Thread
