Range Rover Sport L320 Timing Belt Kit

Timing Belt Kit for the Range Rover Sport L320: belt, tensioner and idlers matched to the engine, with the rear belt too on the V6 diesel.

Timing belts, chains, gaskets, injectors and the parts that keep these engines running. The TDV6 runs two timing belts, one at the front and one at the rear driving the fuel pump, and both need doing. The Td5 wicks oil up the injector loom into the engine management plug. Each listing states the known fault it is there to fix. The Sport L320 sits on the Discovery 3 and 4 frame with the same air suspension, the same transfer box and the same diesel engines.

Fitting

Labour guide: about 4 to 10 hours by engine. Land Rover changes specification mid production, often by VIN rather than by model year, so send the VIN or the registration with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything leaves. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return. We are an independent Land Rover specialist and parts supplier. We are not Land Rover or Jaguar Land Rover and are not appointed by them; the model names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. Everything we sell is chosen for vehicles that actually get used: towed with, loaded, driven through water and parked in fields, rather than for the brochure. We do not sell particulate filter deletes, EGR blanking plates, AdBlue emulators or emissions defeat software. They are illegal on a road vehicle in the UK, an MOT failure and they void insurance.

Which version to buy

OE Supplier is made by the firm that supplies the factory, in its own box rather than a dealer box. Same part, same line, typically 30 to 40 per cent cheaper than the dealer. Uprated is the revised or heavier duty specification, built for vehicles that are loaded, towed with and taken off road rather than parked outside a school. Genuine Boxed is in the manufacturer's own packaging with the manufacturer's number on it. Worth it for warranty work, lease returns or a car with full dealer history, and not otherwise.
