| Discovery 4 timing belt kit |
|
I booked my 2016 Discovery with a local indy some 4 weeks ago to get the timing belt and idler roller replaced, part number LR078913, and I was leaving it with them this Friday 24/06/22 while we had our family holiday until 10/07/22.
Today I received an email informing me the 2016 gen2 timing kit was unavailable from their suppliers and they would have to postpone said job.
Would anyone on the site know of a possible supplier I could email or ring?
I have checked the usual Bearmach, LR Parts, Rimmer, even the local dealer to no avail.
At 99,204 miles I have some breathing space, believe its required at 112000, but would be happier if it was done sooner rather than later.
Thanks

Appreciate the the quick reply Disco Mikey
I was grasping at straws in regards to getting the parts.
Looks like I will have to bid my time until the kit is available.
Thanks again for your help.

Indy managed to get and fit the timing belt kit while I was away on holiday but true to Discovery other faults were found.
Throttle body had the usual fault of "O" ring being split and leaking oil damaging coolant pipes which were replaced.
I asked for a suspension fault of C1A20-64 to be checked and it was traced to a worn AMK compressor which was then replaced.
So as usual on a Discovery one job became many. Fingers crossed for "some" fault free motoring for a while.
Going to replace the heavily rusted sidesteps on same vehicle, anyone know where the steps can be purchased on their own minus the brackets, as these seem to be fine.
Or the best price posted for the full kit?

Why bother, the new ones will rot through exactly the same as the old ones.
Having just spent the weekend hurling abuse, club hammer and angle grinder at mine I've bought rock sliders instead.

Would be happy with another 6 years although I will be hopefully putting a lot more protective paint on the brackets and steps.
There are a few carbon steps about, anyone got views, reviews on these in regards to strength, reliability etc?
