Anyone have any advice on this? pictures/instructions? I have changed plugs, oil, air filter... want to now tackle the belt. Did on a search on the forums but all I found was comments that it's simple and just to remove the fan cover... just not sure it was in reference to a 2005 LR3 ;)

Thanks in advance!

Belt removal

Near the bottom and on the right when the link below opens is a pdf related to the two belts at the front of the 4.4 litre V8 which I assume you have.

You will see in the sketches, little square holes in the belt tensioners that you can insert the end of a 1/2" drive handle to give you the slack you need to remove each belt. This is the easy part.

As for the hard part, if you are replacing the belts, you have to remove the radiator fan. If you have done it on a Ford, then you know how. If not, well you need a 36mm fan clutch wrench and some way of holding the pulley with the three bolts - most have 4 bolts and that is easy, but Land Rover, well...

Also the fan is reverse thread so you unscrew it the wrong way.
