Morning all.

Decided to change all belts / water pump / pulleys on my 59k miles FFRR tdv8 4.4. Have got serious chirps squeeks etc.

Got hold of just about all of the parts except the the viscous fan bracket / bearing / pulley ( rarely changed it seems - no after market).

Tried my usual sources and all said that there are none in the UK, on back order and might be weeks. Spoke to LR who confirmed that a number of service parts have run out, including he one I need LR022810 - BRACKET - COUPLING SHAFT BEARING 4.4L. They are on "back order" he said and it looks like weeks rather that days. Did not seek to blame Brexit directly but something is going wrong with parts supply.

Anyone got one they need to sell?

Cheers

Did you ever find one of these? - LR022810

I need one now and not available at the moment. Trying everywhere !!

Could the bearings be replaced if identified & sourced separately?

Good suggestion!!

I researched this - people have apparently tried to source the bearings but they are a one off barrel shaped affair which no bearing catalogues list unfortunately

Eventually got one from land rover. Waited months. Supplies now trickling through .... ----------------

Hi. I thought it was a bit notchy buy once off the car it seemed totally OK. It was awkward to check in situ . Cheers . Ken ----------------

It was the main culprit for the horrible canary noise when cold or hot.
Replaced all pulleys, belts, idlers and its now A1  Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

Hi Rob, do you think it was the idler pulley or the fan attachment bearing that was making the noise on that part?
I'm still collecting all the pulleys to do mine and not sure whether to just replace the pulley.
Thanks Kev.
