As mantamad says autodata is a widely used compilation of very basic data and won't contain all the manufacturers recommendations. Its use shouldn't by any means be taken as an indication that a job is done to a particular standard.
The offending bolt is self locking only at first use and so should be discarded and replaced. That said, apparently it did not come loose but sheared. In my opinion this will be due to over-tightening.
As for what might have, but didn't happen the garage isn't responsible for that so i wouldn't allow it to influence your overall opinion.
If they are accepting that they are responsible for the error and carrying out the repair at no financial cost to you, do you stand to gain anything worthwhile by further confrontation?

It does appear that Autodata do recomend bolt renewal. Hope that give yu summat to fight with if it gets nasty.
Spot on and thank you for taking the time to post that Autodata information. Internet warrior you are indeed!
Thank you

Hi Guys.
I have a question about with the Process to change the Timing belt on my KV6 (freelander 2.5). I don't know which of the points I must use to align the back bands, the crankshft and front belt, the point in V on the gear of the crankshaft or th "SAFE" mark. Someone Can Help me?
Thanks
Jim Vargas

When doing the 2 smaller belts on the other side, use the same crankshaft V on the cog, but make sure the gears on the smaller belts on the rear are the correct way round. This is the right way:
P8151279 MXqjJKS
This below is wrong. Turn the crank 360 degrees to change to the correct way as above:

Tensioners, idlers & water pumps (if cambelt driven) should ALL be replaced every time the belt is changed no matter what any manual says & a good garage would always advise a customer that they would be best do this.
