I Saved A Fortune By Replacing The Timing Belt & Water Pump On My Land Rover Freelander 2 SD4

- I finally found the confidence to tackle a timing belt & water pump on a 2014 Land Rover Freelander 2 SD4. I was quoted well over £1,000 by Land Rover to do this, obviously, I couldn't justify spending that sort of money. So that's why I love fixing cars myself & saving an absolute fortune.

Well done brother. I been a mechanic for 19 years and I still get the pre start jitters when done cam belt. Only thing on them belts I don’t do is the starter motor removal and pin in the flywheel I just mark the crank pulley and it’s always worked for me.
I did mine at 200,000km its now at 230,000km and no problems. No garage wanted to do it. These are great cars to work on and its videos like yours that allow people to save money and do something productive. Well done. BTW at 200,000km the old belt looked just like the new one.
It's awesome to hear that your car is running smoothly at 230,000km after doing the work yourself. I'm glad the video could help and that you're enjoying working on your car. It's great to know the old belt held up so well too. Keep up the good work, and thanks for the support!
Well done fella, not a lot of people would tackle this job and you made it look easy 👍 .
I agree it’s not an easy job
Top man. Probably the most definitive “how to” on TH-cam for this. Used it to change mine yesterday. Saved myself about £500. Thanks.
The only thing that you haven't done is trust yourself, ace, very meticulous, Thank you!!.
Thank you very much
Great work you must feel a sense of achievement doing it yourself well done 👍
Well done! Not an easy job. I’m gonna do it on my jaguar xf. Same engine. I enjoy this vid because it is very well explaned.
Greetings from Belgium.
Well done another belt sorted . One of my pet hates working on cars is stud adhesive (Locktite) I know it serves a purpose but a tight bolt is a bloody site tighter to undo with that on it. Same as a torque setting for a bolt then turn it through whatever degrees (Maximum yield stretch bolts)much rather old fashioned torque it up job done lol.
I'm surprised at how easy you made it look but my local garage won't touch it. I'd have thought any time served mechanic would take on the job with ease. Great video very informative.
There are only some lack how you have fixed the locking device. It could be showed better.
That's because most mechanics nowadays are just glorified OBD readers.
You handled that Like a boss 👊
Well done excellent video when I had my fl2 had to the garage to do timing belt was going to do it myself couldn’t t loosen crankshank bolt .
That's gutting ... it was definitely the hardest bolt 🔩 to undo ....you need a big breaker bar
Great video fella. Love how your channel is growing and you are getting more confident. 🤟🏻
Thanks Ben for the support I really appreciate it... I want to move away from the salvage as its no money in it & going to try fixing some no runners in the new year hopefully be a little different 😬 😅 🤔 merry Christmas
Great job. I have an SD4 in my 2015 Disco and will use your video. Thanks for posting! 👍
Sound. Good on you. Be careful underneath when loosening the crankshaft bolt. Perhaps a quality impact tool would be a good thing to consider for safety's sake. I had a 2A Land rover sitting on me, and it stings a bit.!!
A very good performance and presentation. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much!
Superb video with all the information needed. I have to change the timing belt on my 2015 Range Rover Evoque 2.2 SD4 ( the same engine as your Freelander 2) in the next couple of weeks. This has been really helpful
I'm glad I could help hopefully you can save a bit of cash ...
Excellent instructive video, I’m considering a Freelander 2 in the spring (2022) and this is just the thing to reassure me if it needs a cam belt I can have a go myself, thanks Steve..
I'm glad I could help... ignore the people who say they are unreliable, they are one of the best cars I've ever driven. If you can do most of the maintenance yourself then you will save an absolute fortune 👌 😉
Cheers for sharing this sir! Will do this next week, first time on this car, and this gives me confidence to get it done properly and fast! (Wáy faster than finding everything out myself) 🙏🏼
Cheers!
You can do it! I’m glad I could help, just take your time and you’ll be fine
fair play to you for doing that timing belts scare me too much to go wrong but excellent content keep it up
They bloody scare me too lol glad you enjoyed 😉
good job done, I wouldnt want to tackle a job like that, you earn your money well done.
When its a £1000 I'd rather do it myself lol thanks for watching 👀 merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Great job fella well done. Keep up the good work 👍
Well done for persevering. My local LR specialist has only quoted me £175 to do it on a TD4 so I shall get them to do it.
That's cheap I Don't blame you
Try warming the crankshaft bolt, to soften the thread locking compound should make it a little easier on yourself.
I'm going to have to invest in a blowtorch... I think that would definitely help lol 😆 Thanks for the advice I really appreciate it 👍
Well done excellent video, very good description,again well done
Hi great informative video and Hats Off to you for taking on a job like that with a lot more Care and Diligence you would of got from being Ripped Off at a named dealer that leaves half the bolts out. I do all my own servicing as I trust no one to work on my cars as they are all Cowboys so big cudos to you. Keep up the good work. Mike, Northern Ireland 👍👏🍻
Thanks very much that's very kind of you buddy... I don't trust no one anymore I just do it myself & save money at the same time ... Happy New year to you and your family
Well done will be a video wich will be watched many times in years to come the type of thing to get you a pension from you tube 😀 👍👍
If it was only that easy lol... but glad you enjoyed it...
my 2011 sd4 says 10 years or 105,000 miles for timing belt, the other thing that needs doing at the same time is all the transmission oils and haldex etc, the auto gearbox oil needs replacing but it requires the oil level to be measured at a certain temp so needs specialist equipment
You might have the lower horse power mines the 190bhp perhaps that's why? Yeah I won't be tackling the gearbox fluid or diff... I will leave that to the new owners but thanks for the advice 👍
Hi I'm new subscriber and I have watched many channels but you are the best Chanel I have seen you have shown perfect pictures of every part of changing the cam belt I cannot fault this video Sir just brilliant we not stuff 😜😜😜
Phil in stoke
That's very kind of you & thanks for the sub I really appreciate it 👍 happy new year to you and your family 👍
Another great video!!! Perfect, thank you.
Thanks pal! Got one to do in a new-to-me Freelander "3" which had the same engine as the F2 for a few months ;-)
Another great video and well done your smashing through these timing belts 💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks Nathan I really appreciate it 👍 merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
For reference the bolt in the crank should be 70nm and then a second tighten by 82 degrees of angle
Congratulations on reaching 3,160 subscribers and well done for all your hard work this year
Thanks very much I couldn't have done it without you guys helping... thanks for the continued support merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Absolutely superb sir.exellent video
Work too.just subbed,keep up the great vids
Great stuff thanks for the sub I really appreciate it... merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Very good informative video 👍
Thank you for the video, very helpful, this will help me to do the job myself.
Great work mate an great video 👌
Well done mate first time for everything have a merry Christmas
Very commendable, well done👍. A truly inspiring video and it must have given you a huge amount of satisfaction knowing that you have saved loads of money. From start to finish how long did this take you (not including breaks and waiting for new bolts)?
To be honest I can't remember a couple of hours probably
Thanks for watching 👀
Well done for a start for doing this job yourself but I'm at a loss as to how you saved over £1k. I just had this same job done on my freelander 2, cam belt and water pump changed at my local garage for just over £500 quid parts and labour. I avoid main dealer servicing like the plague.
Your going to lock the crank and the cam shaft ,just take your time and double check everything pics with your phone and you can't go wrong
Thanks for the advice 👍
Hats of for the timing task m8 it can be in the hundreds esp land rover
Another no nonsense straightforward watch. Great vid thanks. What's the background music at the hour mark? Cheers
The music came from my editing software on wondershare filmora unsure what its called buddy... im glad you enjoyed 😉
geart stuff and well done good step by step info and a few laughs 👍
Hi pal well done on tackling that. Just a little tip if you got the correct locking tools you dont need to tipex etc as there locked and going nowhere but understand its a bit of insurance.Also I would not have removed the starter i would have locked the cams then paint marked the crank sprocket to the engine casing installed the belt then turned the engine twice slowly to make sure ther is no interference align the crank reinsert your cam fuel pump lockers job done just watch on some cars there are no keyway in the sprockets but this saves you loads of time and as you did always turn the engine over slow twice to make sure there is no interference you can not go wrong.Oh and I have done hundreds if not thousands of belts being a mechanic and i still have a twitchy arse moment when turning that key lol good luck keep the vids coming love them.
Wondering how you'd find the correct timing if, say, the crank or camshafts slip and you haven't marked them.
@HaggisMuncher-69-420 Then you have to use the manufacturers marks or locking pins basically by the book
Nice video, so after two years is all well with the timing belt etc, bit worried that the water pump gasket was cardboard, i thought they wre metal? hopefully it's not failed and leaked.
I no longer own the Freelander I sold it not long after this video, The guys never contacted me so I'm confident its still driving around lol
Well done - same engine as Mondeo Mk4/4.5, Galaxy & SMAX 2.2 👍
Hi - have just done this on my 2012 Mondeo 2.2 with the same engine. Your video was invaluable- thanks so much.
One key point to note with the Ford installation (Mondeo, SMax, Galaxy) is that the RH engine mount MUST be removed to provide access. Luckily we had a second trolley jack and were able to support the engine with that - with wood to protect the sump of course. Thanks again - Rob 👍
Great job mate I'm in the process of finding someone to do the timing belt job on my Freelander 2 and no one will touch it you have made it so much easier than I thought it would be just about time and patience I guess with the locking tool even if it takes a while once they are set and locked in jobs a goodun going to tackle it myself now I think
Good luck I hope it goes well 👍
Take. My hat of to you chap. Brilliant. It's great for your confidence. Great video. Keep it going mate. See anymore audis to repair yet then?. Look forward to next video. Merry Christmas buddy.
Still got my fiat's at the moment so until I sell everything then it's no new projects... thanks for the support merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
That looked a real pig of a job, well done mate
It wasn't to bad I think the fiat 500 was worse thanks for watching 👀
Well done very good informative video keep up good work.
Thanks very much 👍 glad you enjoyed 😉
Well Done Leon ,great work
Thanks Ian merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 buddy see you next year. I can't wait to get started on your truck buddy
Someone been checking the belt maby even main dealer , changed plugs on our Mazda 2 even though service history said they been done Mazda full history same plugs that it left the projection line, do it yourself and you know it's been done , when I worked on people's cars Always put the old parts on front seat so they could see them
Totally agree I Don't trust garages... safer to do it yourself at least you know its been done ... thanks for watching 👀 merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Well done buddy. Great job done there. If you don't need that thousand you saved, I could put it to good use. Lol. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Roll on the next project.
Nah I definitely need the money 💰 lol ... thanks for watching 👀 merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
thanks have to do our jag f 2.2 this week
👏👏👏🚙 congratulations well done
Thanks very much 👍 merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
It's a big job
Loctite on crank bolt, heat gun on bolt head for few mins than wind it out
Thanks very much for your advice I really appreciate it I will try that next time cheers 🍻
Nice job but how you do it on a jaguar 2.2 diesel xf with the engine stait? It is almost inpossible to remove the startermoter. The crankshaft bolt is also difficult to undo and again torck to 70nm + 80° because these is no room for a angel gauge.
Well done mate another good video.
Thanks very much 👍 merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Top job that pal 👊👊👊👊👊
Have given you a big thumbs up
Thanks very much Ben that's very kind of you 👍
Well done butt. Fairplay that's was more intense than an episode of eastenders.you did make me giggle a few times. 'I got to be honest I'm shitting myself' 🤣..Great work though. Way above my limits.
Do you have a link to where you bought the kit from? I am due to do mine and there are so many options
I'd not be able to put it back together 😂
Great bit of 🎥.
Why thanks very much 👍 merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Brilliant. Got the same job myself on a 2010 SD4 soon, it gets hammered doing forestry work and pulling log trailers along forest tracks!
Did you try your impact wrench on the pulley bolt at all?
My impact wrench 🔧 is crap so wouldn't touch it but if you have a good you might get away with it 😉
@@RevivingSalvage almost ready for mine now - can I ask what are the instructions you are using? My kit came with none - are those available on line? Cheers!
Hi Leon merry Christmas to you and your family
Merry Christmas Ben 🎅 🎄 👍
Balls of steel !! 🤣🤣
Thanks very much 👍 merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
If I can give one bit of criticism is you shouldn’t really be using the timing locking tools to help undo the crank bolt You could damage them
Thanks for the advice but how do you undo the crank without looking it In place & using the locking pins & flywheel to undo cheers 👍
@@RevivingSalvage Flywheel locking tool in place of the starter motor is the proper method
Great video. Your confidence is growing, you will be stripping gearboxes next. Going to do the same job next week so nice to get a taste of whats to come.
You said your selling the Freelander, what will you do for delivery of salvage?
I hope the video helps ... thanks for watching 👀... I will just pay for delivery its bloody easier... merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 & good luck on your landy
over a grand wow how long did it take you did you turn the tap off on the rad
Good!
Happy New year 🎉
Good job, I've never done a timing belt before but more confident now 😊.... How many times did you turn the engine over after to check the timing?
well done you
Thanks very much 👍 merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Oops 🤣 bolts all over
Great job.. I'm about to do mine. Your video is a excellent reference.. What size bolts did you use to hold the flywheel locking tool in place?
Hi. Could you post a link to the crankshaft/camshaft locking tools, please? Cheers!!
Hello mate 👍
Hi Big Man. Another Epic Journey completed 👍. ps. It may of helped if you took off the coolant cap
earlier, to release any vacuum, in the water system during coolant drain. This was a win win
Cam belt change. Congratulations. See you in the next one. 👏👏
I didn't try that so probably would have worked... or an air line would have done the trick thanks for the advice 👍 merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
video of exhaust fiat 500 ?
Crankshaft bolt should be 70nm then 60 degrees?
I went over & check again & it does need the 90 degrees 😫 😅 thanks for the advice 👍 merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
👍👍👍
Thank you very much merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Is doing the belt on a td4 the same?
Exactly the same just the mileage between changing it
Get yourself a gun best tool I every bought
Turbo engines don't like dirty oil a big no no , you have done a timing belt so long as you got the right info and tools , there is not a lot in them , vw want £1300 to change a cam chain , kiss my ass I will do it my self when weather improves I will buy the tools I need
How they can justify the cost I don't know ... film it so we can all experience from it buddy.
A grand? Who quoted you that...land rover dealers are under 600 quid mate
First comment 🥳
Bit too much waffle
By all means just skip the waffle 🧇 😒 & get to the juicey bits ... thanks for watching 👀. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Well done mate first time for everything have a merry Christmas
