I had my cambelt done at about 105K a while ago, the one that came off looked like new so the rear HPFP belt was left in the hope it would last a fair while yet.
If the rear (pump) belt fails, it wont do any damage to the engine, it will just cause the car to stop so it's less of a priority.Clive

Sorry for my ignorance, the D3 v8 petrol (which I have) what kind of chain does it have? A timing belt like the diesel or something else? When I'm supposed to change the belt or chain? After how many km?
I appreciate your help a lot! Great forum!
Michele.

No, the V8 has a timing chain, that does not need any servicing.

Both the above have good reputations but if you find yourself south of the river then Famous Four in Louth is an excellent independent specialising in Land Rovers. They get my trade due to their quality but they also happen to be the cheapest around.
