As far as I know all these things are from registration date. It doesn't matter that your car sat in a field for 8 months before it was sold, like mine.

I'm not too sure you do stand corrected.
Build date should be irrelevant. Warranty start date is the true measure and the warranty start date usually coincides with first registration and PDI.

All my warranty (not sure I can remember that far back) & service stuff was from reg date (Apr 06) even though mine was built Aug or Sept 05. that's what I was thinking of.

Then your service schedule started in Apr 06.

The service intervals start from when the car was first registered.
However, the chassis number confirms the oil pump is the 1st supercession of the original pump. 77
In this case, rather safe than sorry, and recommend it should be done. That said though, when the belt is off, it can be checked to see if it is the stronger design My D3 Build Thread
Many thanks I entirely agree with your thoughts about better safe than sorry.
My D3 has done 47k miles to date, so the belt change will be driven by time rather than mileage. I intend to keep the car until it's 10 years old or thereabouts; my thought is that it's prudent to do the belts in the next 12 months/10k miles.
I'm about to change the transfer box oil. I've changed the oil & filter every 6 months in addition to the regular services in the hope of prolonging engine life.

I just had the oil pump changed when the belts were done. To me it's just not worth the risk

Can someone summarize which pumps are the suspect ones (to save me reading all 21 pages of this topic!)?
My D3 falls in to the bold range above, had the belts changed at 90k service (20k miles done since then), should I be grateful I've still got over two years warranty on it?The End

I've also just had the timing belts service (105K) and oil pump done at 95K
Visual examination of the the oil pump did not show any indications of failure, but I'm viewing the extra cost as insurance.
However, visual inspection of the timing belt showed a 18 inch long thin strip coming off one edge. Glad I decided to do the change 10K early.
Thanks to all at Green Oval Garage in Leeds for a good price and a job well done.
Regards,
Steve

Hi guys
Had my timing belt done last week, and the oil pump/casing, parts were another 52 quid for the casing (plus fitting) along with all the other ancils too
Defiantly worth doing.... The car seems to be more responsive too. It's also worth noting that there was a strip on the inside edge of the belt that was damaged... the work was done at 79k (6 and a half years) .
