Vehicle & Technical > Discovery
Would just like to say thanks to the person.........................
les baty:
who discovered that by wedging a 2p at the 9.00 o'clock position behind the fanbelt tensioner on a Disco 300tdi, it does actually work, yay!!!
It has cured the horrific screeching noise that has been plaguing us for months! My wife was very close to not driving it anymore, as everyone would look at her when she approached them!!!
Many many thank
Team Les Baty!
clover:
My mate fourby did that. Cured his as well.
Range Rover Blues:
I replaced the tensioner on my sister's 300 TDi "asd a precaution" only to go through a series of strange problems including a cut top hose, 2 drive belts throwing off and intermittant failure of the PAS, only to find it was all cured by the new tensioner being twisted.
Stupidly you can't buy just the wheel and bearing, you have to buy the whole arm and it's the arm that was wrong :evil:
Disco_Stu:
There is a thread over on LR4x4 about changing the bearing on the tensioner. Apparently a fella on ebay sells em for about £6. I'm sure it will be findable in the tech archive if anyone wants to look for it.

KingWolf:
Yes it can be done, but I've not tried it myself although I do have one of those eBay bearings just incase..
Here's a link for all those interested..!!!
