10 minutes max, very easy
15mm socket on a knuckle bar to remove to tension and a 15mm spanner needed, it's pretty self explanatory just take note of the belt track

POP, as above 15mm socket on a breaker bar is all you need. 2mins. Cheers

MrsBPMan is going to collect one tomorrow and I'm going to do it tomorrow night ..

how long should the OE belts last ? Mine's less than a year old ... (and don't tell me off roading has shortened it's life ... it's a land rover Laughing )

my old 300 defender belt lasted 3 years (no air con) my old 300 disco with ac would last about 9-12 months.
check pulley bearings, water pump etc for wear and alignment before refitting, also your tensioner may start to squeal with a new belt, use silicone spray on the belt (not wd40!) and white grease as appropriate on the tensioner pulley.
