Do I buy genuine or pattern belt and tensioner.

Guardian.:
theres a few things its just nice to know youve spent your money and done it right!
peace of mind, might all be a load of rubbish and pattern part much better than an origional ( it does happen), but belts, brakes etc, i always fit genuine.

Many thanks for the replies.......

My research is bringing up some interesting info.

ERR4708 is the part number for the tensioner and ERR4708G is for genuine tensioners. Many places show ERR4708G as a genuine item but put different makers name in brackets - usually DAYCO.

The cheapest I have found displays both pattern (DAYCO) and genuine (DAYCO) on the same page at different prices!!

Does anyone have the part number for the belt - 1995 300Tdi Disco Auto?

Yes Gates make a lot of OE belts, I have one on mine and wouldn't fit any other type of aftermarket belt.

Latest update...

New GENUINE belt at Guy Salmon (Portsmouth) £12 Inc VAT.
New GENUINE tensioner at Guy Salmon (Portsmouth) £85 plus VAT.

The assistant kindly let me study the "GENUINE" tensioner and the casting clearly showed the manufacturer as DAYCO - same as the "PATTERN" ones that everyone else is selling.

 :lol: Bought the belt over the counter but will phone Mansfield 4x4 for the tensioner.

Range Rover Blues:
Didn't someone say Dayco were part of that big Indian corp that's trying to buy LR?

Anyway, I've fitted a couple of their pattern tensioners (D44 were a good price, better than paddocks :wink: ) and they are just as good as OEM.
