Belt change only is fine unless there is problems. No Guts, No Glory.

Unless they are noisy, I would leave them alone. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Sodโs law will likely apply.
You wonโt get tensioner, idler etc and when you remove belt you find they need replacing. OR You will get tensioner , idler etc and when you remove belt you find they are in perfect condition. |

Thanks everyone. I think I will buy the lot OEM but only change idler etc as advised and if required. I am sure I will need the parts eventually.

I've changed the bearings in two pulleys on my 17-year-old, 279k mile 2.4 Defender. They usually last a long time.
It's only on its second drive belt, the original lasted 200k miles and was completely serviceable when I changed it. |

Thanks again for the all the replies and the detail. Interesting to hear how long the belt can actually last.

When do you usually decide to change the belt? Mine started getting noisy when cold/humid so Iโm gonna change it. Just wondering if the noise could mean a pulley is on its way. Making my Defender great again. (Or trying to at least xD)

50k miles, but I think they can do a lot more than that by far.
I kept the original just in case, but as Blackwolf has had they last a long time. Equally they are easy to change and relatively cheap compared to some items. I changed my last one at 50k, the current one I have now is on 52k Iโm going to keep it going, as it has a lot of life, miles isnโt everything age is also a factor I tended to change it due to age rather than miles in my case.

My original one lasted 85k/10 years and had no visible signs of deterioration, so I've kept is an an emergency spare. I only changed the belt, but not very long afterwards a couple of the idlers got squeaky so had to go back in and do those. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS |
