Hi steesh,I am not surprised with the quotes you got,it is a big job it took me 2 days but I am no mechanic,I do remember the belt kit cost over gbp300 so if you need to save money go for it,I did find lots of useful hints of how to do it on youtube but there are lots of bolts that are quite hard to get to especially on the egr valves,but if you do decide to give it a go I replaced my water pump at the same time. Good luck

Hi Darren,yes the cam belt is a rubber one & at the same time you can change the water pump as you have access to it anyway,I found lots of helpful vids on YouTube when I did mine, good luck

Hi Paul,jaguar recommended change is at 112K so I think changing it was the right thing to do,a new engine is a very costly repair, At least you know you are good for few years anyway. Cheers Alan

The main thing to look for is to check if the cambelt has been changed,should be changed at 112k, Any other questions let me know Cheers Alan

Hi Alan,my name is also Alan,I have a 2011 xf 3.0d & I changed the cambelt at 112k when I 1st got my car,I am not a mechanic & did it ok,I owe a lot to you tube for a 2.7 range rover,basically the same engine,good luck
