2010 D4 - Cam Belt service - should I get oil pump done?
Hi everyone.
Im new to the LR world, and I am going to have a lot of questions so please be patient with me.
Im having both belts replaced as part of a major service next week. The service is costing £1200 so you guys will know more than me what it will probably involve.
Ive read stories about failing oil pumps, is that something I should be asking to be included as part of the service? Seeing as the belts are being done I can't imagine it costing much more in labour to replace the oil pump even if I source it myself (any recommendations on part suppliers would be great).

Its past the age that oil pumps were an issue with casting failures, so would just look at the mileage and make the call - check with the garage how much extra labour to change it whilst its apart, as you say it would be a good few £ less to do it now than do it in the future...Must stop buying shiny toys....

Recently changed mine on a 2011 D4 with 160k miles, and changed:
Water pump
Aux belt, all idlers incl. Tensioner.
Also needed an alternator, so it all worked quite well.
I used Advanced Factors for the parts as they have full Dayco kit listed, and bolts.
Extra to the kit is Water pump and the extra idler.
Have part numbers if you need them.2011 MY D4 HSE

If it were me, I'd be changing the oil pump while you're getting the work done. It shouldn't cost too much extra (going to be in the region of a few hundred) and will give you the peace of mind of having the latest pump design (and a fresh pump can't be a bad thing either).
So if you can afford it I'd get it done. My two penneth

In the unlikely event it should fail It won’t have a future! you’ve spent a fortune on it for a few £s more you can have piece of mind, the oil pressure on these engines is not great at the best of times, if you intend keeping it change it, it will help resale if and when you decide to sell it. Keep all receipts safe. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
