Another important maintenance job completed at Southern VSR Ltd. This Land Rover Discovery was in with us for replacement of both the main engine timing belt and the rear high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) drive belt.

On the 3.0 TDV6 engine, replacing the timing belt is an essential part of preventative maintenance. The separate high-pressure fuel pump belt also needs attention and can easily be overlooked when the main timing belt is being replaced — if it fails, it can cause serious engine damage.

For this job we carried out:

• Main timing belt replacement • High-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) drive belt replacement • New tensioners and associated components • Engine correctly locked and timed using the correct specialist tooling • Timing checked before final reassembly • Quality parts fitted throughout

Keeping on top of timing belt intervals is far cheaper than dealing with the engine damage that can result from a belt failure. If your Discovery or Range Rover with the 3.0 TDV6 is due — or you are not sure when the belt was last changed — it is worth getting it checked.

At Southern VSR Ltd, we undertake everything from routine servicing and diagnostics through to timing belts, timing chains and major mechanical repairs on Land Rover, Range Rover and all other makes.

We are based in West Harting, near Petersfield, and look after drivers across East Hampshire and West Sussex. Message us for a quote or to get booked in.
