Belts and Hoses

Land Rover Belts and Hoses 101

What They Do; What Kinds There are

Land Rover SUVs use a series of belts and hoses to move their many moving parts. Belts move things mechanically (using other parts), while hoses do so hydraulically (using pressurized liquid). There are many different types of the former -- serpentine, drive, and timing belts, for instance -- not to mention of the latter, where examples include radiator, heater core, fuel, brake, and air intake hoses.

Signs They're Failing; When to Replace Them

Neither lasts forever; both can and do break down, usually from use. Check both regularly for looseness and damage, and check hoses for fluid leaks. Also, listen for screeching and/or chirping noises and engine misfires, and watch for engine overheats and battery and car lighting malfunctions. You may also notice your SUV's systems starting to fail generally, the vehicle not running right, or it not starting at all.

See any such symptoms, and you should inspect and replace whatever needs to be. Otherwise, change most hoses every 4 years and most belts depending on mileage. Check your owner's manual for specifics, and before you buy anything new, make sure it's the genuine article.

Why Buy Genuine Land Rover Belts and Hoses vs. Aftermarket?

They're designed specifically for the brand's SUVs. That's a compatibility guarantee from Land Rover, and one that not all aftermarket brands can always make.
