Td5 Auxiliary Drive Belt Tensioners

Find replacement Td5 auxiliary drive belt tensioners for Defender Td5 and Discovery 2 Td5 models. The tensioner keeps the auxiliary belt correctly loaded across the belt-driven ancillaries and is a common replacement when the belt system becomes noisy, unstable or worn.

Defender and Discovery 2 Td5 belt tensioners

The Td5 auxiliary belt tensioner is used on the front drive belt system and replaces Land Rover part number ERR6951. It is normally supplied as a complete spring-loaded tensioner assembly with the pulley and bearing fitted, rather than as separate small components.

A worn tensioner can cause belt squeal, chirping, rattling from the pulley bearing, poor belt tracking or visible movement from the tensioner arm while the engine is running. If the belt is cracked, glazed, contaminated or noisy, it is sensible to replace the belt at the same time as the tensioner.

Choose the tensioner option that suits the vehicle and the job. For everyday repair work, a branded replacement may be all you need. For vehicles that tow, work hard, cover high mileage or where you simply want the strongest quality choice available, choose one of the higher-grade branded or Genuine Land Rover options shown below.
