At 10 years old, if it hasn't been done, then request cambelt and water pump change as a condition of purchase.. Steve

When i was looking most dealers would have done the cambelt change if i wanted them (and i hadn't already been done) but don't then expect them to move on price too) |

You can request they do the belt change & they will probably agree to do it, if they do carry out the work is another matter |

Just had my Sd4 done, and a Renault Modus, both about £630 each, at independent but renowned shops. I know that's more than other parts of the country, but this is Surrey and the main dealers wanted £900. |

Cobbet1, does that price include pulley tension roller and water pump? If not, then they are robbing you...dealers have fixed price repairs and servicing for vehicles 3+ years, and the belt on its own is £300 and something at a main dealer IIRC. |

Sorry should have added that's a service as well, not sure if it includes water pump |

If it helps anyone out, I'm in Hampshire and have just had the cam belt and water pump done on my 2013 SD4 (60k miles). I shopped around all over the south and got loads of different prices (these are all inc VAT):

p.s. I don't know what on earth Harwoods Basingstoke are doing - they should be quoting on the JLR fixed price plan for FL2s but their prices seem to be completely random.

Have you seen the price of LR water pumps (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto. Statutory write off & on WOVR for hail damage but still road legal.

There pricing does seem a bit random, was quoted the fixed £395 price for the belt but as I said not sure if that includes the water pump |

Its maybe worth clarifying with the dealer exactly what your getting. We know dealers the hourly rate at a dealer is huge, so to do it for £395 inc VAT, on a 3 hour job, they must be shaving costs elsewhere...
