Land Rover Repair: 02 freelander timing belt, timing belt tool, luck john


Question
My 2002 freelander SE started making alot of noise when driving and I've been told I need to change the timing belt ASAP. However it takes a special tool and I was wondering what the name of this tool is.

Answer
The timing belt tool kit is available from your dealer or online suppliers like Atlantic British.  That's what it's called . . . timing belt tools.

Just so you know . . . replacement of the timing belt is an all day job for an experienced technician.  And the tool set costs almost $1,000.  So I'd certainly suggest you read about the procedure and think carefully before leaping in.

You can access service instructions for a small fee from LR's official site, www.landrovertechinfo.com

Good luck
John
