3.0L SCV6 Timing belt change

[Robin Parsons]

What kit is reccommended for timing change kit on 20q4 LR4, 3.0L? I see several on line from $169.00 for an off brand up to $1100 for LR genuine. Several brands from $169 to $300.

Does any one have long term experience as to price vs quality? I plan to keep the LR for a long time, currently 102,000 miles, few problems and perfect condition. Planning a prophalytic change of timing gear, supercharger coupler, coolant crossovers, water pump etc.

Any advice would be grealy appreciated.

I would say spend the money and get quality parts. I think Atlantic British is now marketing a kit for the 3.0 SC - https://www.roverparts.com/engine/k...flo-nEYVIVXc4y6x0NDMKCVOMseUfSM8aApOwEALw_wcB

Wow. So in addition to timing guides an owner has to do a SC belt maintenance. Great move by LR to shelve the V8. What morons.

The timing chain/guide service is actually the same on the 5.0l as on the 3.0l. The service for the SC is the small coupler which couples the 2 screw sets together. Its not a big deal.
