Hi all
After three years of pain with my Defender 110,
it always let me down when snowed.
Have now got myself a fourtrak 2.8 TDX independant 1998, with 40K miles and full service history.
My only concern is the timing belt, it's not mentioned in any of the old invoice's. So I should realy get it changed, what is the average lifespan/mileage for the belt??
Looking forward to some reliable motoring.
Cheers

timing belt
Hi Ian,
I have a 1999 TDX independent 2.8 and my service manual quotes 60,000 miles. Hope this helps, welcome to the site.

coolant!
Your other concern should be the coolant asweel!! I have a 1998 R TDX Fourtrak with only 60k and ive just had to shell out for a new cylinder head as mine had five cracks around the pre-swirl chambers!!! £1500 bob later!!! All down to the previous owner not having changed the coolant ever!! I change my timing belt after 4 years regardless of miles!! Otherwise the truck has been very reliable!
