Frequently asked questions

What does the timing chain tensioner clip (233328) do?
The timing chain tensioner clip retains the timing chain tensioner and its spring inside the timing cover. It holds the spring-loaded tensioner against the chain so correct chain tension is kept. It fits the 2.25 litre four-cylinder petrol engine, not the V8.
Which engine is this clip for?
This clip is for the 2.25 litre four-cylinder petrol engine used in the Land Rover Series 2 and 3 and Defender up to 2016. It isn't used on the V8. Confirm your engine is the four-cylinder petrol unit before ordering, as V8 timing gear differs.
Should the tensioner clip be replaced when the timing cover is off?
Replace the tensioner clip if it's distorted or has lost its grip while the timing cover is off. A weak clip can let the tensioner move and the chain lose tension, causing timing rattle. It's a cheap part to renew while access is easy.
