Hello everybody! greetings from a warm country and unconditional lover of the legendary Land rovers.
I came here and liked the explanations on maintenance, especially the discovery 3, now that the factory warranties are expiring and vehicles migrate to private workshops because of high costs of parts and labor.
And one of these appeared TDV6 engine completely broken inside, to make only gave two pistons, the rest was broken.
And I will not lie I've taken the belt, but I have no idea how to synchronize the engine, since it has no references and the crankshaft has a spline!
And did not have reference to any since the engine was stuck.
can you help me?
As said the order of detonation, and the first cilidro is later on.
Thank you.

You need to get your hands on the locking pins for the cam shaft and the flywheel, you need to take the starter motor out, a fiddly job and then you can insert the flywheel locking pin to get the cranks in the correct position, then insert the camshaft locking pins in both cams..

This is your only way now to be sure it's all setup in the correct position.

Thanks a lot really helped!
I do this already on the engine throughout the engine is disassembled and has over 700 pieces!
Remove the starter was the first procedure that I did to try to turn the crankshaft, and relamente is rather hard to do. But it's nothing compared to taking the engine! Since he only comes out by removing the entire body in a lift!
The same goes for the air conditioning compressor and turbine, taking only remove the body.
thanks again.

You dont HAVE to remove the body to get the engine out. it can be done with the body in place if you dont have the facilities to lift the body.

There is a bit more involved in the strip down, but it does come out with the body in place Thumbs Up

Yes ! i put the photos that I can get, so go back to work shooting pictures of the damage in some V6 already scrapped that we receive to determine if a miracle to recover them, many of these engines break here, a few twists to the piston on the crankshaft! It certainly is negligence of the owners to put a good synthetic oil and check the level with some frequency. And also want to walk like a sports car more than 100 miles.
send two separated so I took the body.

Well this is news to me since the very representative of the Land Rover here gave no other alternative but to this. But thanks for the info.
I apologize if I'm dodging the subject of the topic, create a new one to show the photos for leaving the only belt?

Hi guys, decided to undertake this job after reading through the gratious and excellent original post. Just got the old belt off without too much trouble, but need to ask some questions:

1. The Dayco timing belt I was supplied (by terrainvehicles.co.uk) has differnt part number compared to the old one, and no direction of rotation marked (Pic below, new belt on top). Surely the belt supplied is correct, but I don't want to take even the smallest chance. Is someone here able to confirm whether this is the correct belt?

2. I'd like more detailed explanation of how install the front belt tensioner. I expected the base of the tensioner would have some means to positively locate onto the mounting, but I see that it can be installed at any angle. I can see a hex key can be used to adjust the angular position, but the instructions about arrow direction in the original post is a bit ambiguous. I find it strange also that there is no positive means to stop the tensioner from rotating if the bolt becomes even slightly lose? Can someone kindly explain step by step how it is supposed to be installed?

3. Regarding the rear auxiliary drive belt, how the hell to you release one of the cover clips? Any tips, eg tools and technique used?

Thanks in advance for the help!

The front belts are all the same, for all model years. If there is no direction of rotation marked on the belt, the general rule is to fit it so the writing faces you. With the Dayco belt for the TDV6, that is the same way it comes off, only the new belt does not have a direction indicated.

The front belt tensioner does not locate into anything in the block, it tensions itself against the belt. Fit the belt and tensioner, turn the 10mm hex in the tensioner anti-clockwise to set the correct tension, and torque bolt

As yours is an 06MY, the rear belt cover is a doddle. Use a long screwdriver if req. to release the clips at the top, lift out of the lower clips, and wiggle the cover out Thumbs Up

If you look in my gallery there are two pictures of the front belt tensioner the first picture I took was before I released the tensioner and you can see how much it has moved away from the notch being in the center with belt wear.
When you tighten the tensioner the notch should be in the center of the window when fully torqued up.

The rear belt cover does come off quite easy I have always just used my fingers and pressed down on the two plastic latches on the top and has DM says you have to wiggle it to get it out, just don't drop anything down the back as its a right pig to find after.

I am changing the timing belt on my 05 D3 this weekend.
From the thread above there is a mention about "turn the 10mm hex in the tensioner anti-clockwise to set the correct tension, and torque bolt"

What is the correct tension? Is this in Nm?

Many thanks for your replies chaps.

The correct tension is aligning the pointer in the window of the tensioner Thumbs Up
