Hi Lrstaylor and welcome.
When you say you have ordered a Dayco kit are you referring to the timing belts?
If so, before you strip off the old belt check if the oil pump has been upgraded. If not you'll be needing one of them too plus the crank oil seal. (modified pump and original LR seal)
You will also need the cam locking pins, crank tool optional.
Again welcome to the forum, or Baptism of fire perhaps yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

No warrenty private sale was main dealer serviced upto 50k then independent after that but regardless of that were doing a full service plus full dayco kit including oil pump. Best way to be sure its all been done properly
