A timing chain fitting kit is listed for the AJ200D. Some 2.0 litre titles name Ingenium or AJ200 and others give only the engine size, and some kits do not name the engine at all, so check the part number.

Single timing chains include 2.25 litre chains in 38 and 39 link lengths, upper and lower V8 chains and 2.0 litre diesel and petrol chains. Oil pump drive chains are listed too, including one titled for the 2.4 and 2.2 litre diesel.

Auxiliary drive belts, fan belts and V belts

Auxiliary drive belts, also called accessory, ancillary or serpentine belts, are listed with titles that show which ancillaries a belt drives, such as the alternator, the power steering pump, the A/C compressor or, on the 300Tdi, the coolant pump. Titles name engines from the 200Tdi, 300Tdi and Td5 to the 2.4 TDCi, 2.2 TD4, 2.7 and 3.0 V6 diesel, 3.6 TDV8 and 2.9 TD6, and petrol engines from the V8 EFI and V8 supercharged to the 1.8 K-Series, 2.5 KV6, 4.0 V6 and 3.2 litre I6. Many titles add the details that separate one belt from the next: with or without A/C, ACE, primary or secondary drive, and the belt length in millimetres.

Single-purpose belts are listed as well: alternator belts, power steering belts, A/C compressor belts, 300Tdi coolant pump belts and a vacuum pump belt. Fan belts and V belts include 12V fan belts, 24V drive belts, a 2.6 litre fan belt and V belts titled by width and length.

Buying guide: Genuine, OEM and aftermarket belts, chains and pulleys

Genuine belts, chains and pulleys carry the Land Rover part number. OEM belts, chains and pulleys come from original-equipment manufacturers. Aftermarket also covers value and off-road brands.

Budget Parts lists Genuine, OEM and aftermarket options in this collection. Brands listed include Dayco, FAI, INA and Gates, alongside Genuine Land Rover parts. The available quality tier varies by part, so check the individual product listing when comparing options.

Kit or single part. Timing belt and timing chain kits sit next to single belts, chains, tensioners and guides. Some timing kits do not say belt or chain in the title, such as the kit titled 2.0L T16 Petrol and the kits titled 2.2L and 2.4L With Sprockets. Read the title and the listing to see what you are ordering.

Belt type and size. Auxiliary belts are listed as Poly-V or ribbed belts and as V belts, and many titles give the length. Match the title, the length and the part number.

Before you order

1. Start with the engine. Many titles name the engine and others do not, and one model can have parts listed for more than one engine, so check the engine code or engine size first, then the part number. Where a title says TD4 or Td4, check the engine size as well, such as the 2.2 litre.
2. Check the A/C and ACE variant. Many auxiliary drive belts, and some idlers and tensioners, are titled with or without A/C or ACE. Check the title and the part number.
3. Match the position. Check front or rear, upper or lower, and primary or secondary where the title gives them.
4. Check what a kit includes. Timing kits differ in content, and some timing belt kits are titled with a water pump, so read each listing.
5. Quote the VIN with any fitment enquiry. Give the full VIN or chassis number exactly as it appears on the vehicle. It lets a part number that changed during a model's production be checked against your vehicle.
