Video tutorial

In this video, we will show you when to change the timing belt on a Land Rover Freelander 2. As seen in the video, the timing belt should be replaced when, due to wear or a sudden engine failure, it breaks. However, there are some warning signs indicating when it is time to change the belt.

One of these is noise. When the engine starts making a screeching and constant noise, it is because the timing belt is beginning to slip off the pulleys and is about to fail.

Another indicative factor is mileage. You can check the vehicle's manual for this.
