How to Replace the Timing Belt on the Land Rover Freelander?

Model: Land Rover Freelander Freelander 1 - Years 1997-2006
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing belt on the Land Rover Freelander, open the bonnet and access the engine bay: the belt is located on the right side of the engine, and you will need to detach the plastic covers on the side of the engine to access it. Once the pulleys and belt are accessible, loosen the central pin of the tensioner roller to reduce the tension on the belt so it can be removed. After replacement, insert a new belt and reinstall all previously removed parts.
