Cambelt change on Disco V8

<< < (2/2)

Xtremeteam:
all the v8s are basically the same just more cc's,they all have a timing chain that shouldnt need replaced unless it has done a sky high mileage or has been trashed,also find out if its been ouil changed regularly as that can lead to major problems as they get gunked up easily

tjsj:
thanks for that it helps a lot stops me worrying about it now it has only done 87,000 which is fairly low for an m reg it has had frequent oil changes from new as it was the previous owners pride and joy and he was the first owner im also thinking about fitting some bfg mts to the standard freestyle rims what do you think

hobbit:
Ahh well, its a learning curve,

As the Dalek said climbing off the dusbin said, "We all make mistakes :oops: "
 :lol:

Range Rover Blues:
Mostly the V8 engines outlast the gearboxs.

Nothing wrong with that. They will go on there without any problems, are staying with the standard size? If your thinking about going wider then the steering stops on the swivel housings may need adjusting and if your going taller then watch the rear arches on full articulation as they tend to touch the trailing edge with a standard suspension set-up.

Have a look at this website for info on what size tyres will fit.  :wink:
