Donno about you but everytime my missus uses my landy she breaks summit else. I don't know how difficult it is on a TD4. From what I can remmember the L series is a sod to do.

Do you mean:-
The large belt that drives the water pump, power steering pump, alternator OR the other belt that drives the air con pump?
The large drive belt doesn't seem to be too bad to change. Bottom engine undertray off, remove o/s front plastic wing protector panel (lower), you will then see the pulleys and belt.
Pull back the tensioner pulley with a spanner and HOLD it away from the belt. Remove belt. Then you can get to the other belt that drives the air con pump. This too has a tensioner. Need to slacken with spanners here as in old fashioned fan belt style. Fit new belt. Tension up,
Refitting large belt is as they say - the reverse of removal. Locate it around all the pulleys etc then SLOWLY release tensioner pulley so it contacts belt. Don't let the pulley twang back onto the new belt!
Bingo
Or something like that!!!

yu got diviculitis as well? poor sod.
The auxiliary drive belt is the smaller and drives the aircon compressor. If this has shredded it needs to be removed quickly as it can cause damage to the crankshaft oil seal if it gets behind the crankshaft pulley, easiest way is cut off with pliers/hacksaw. You will now have no aircon of course but the engine will operate normally. order both main and auxiliary belts. Download 'RAVE' manual via 'GREENOVAL' wsite for fitting instructions. before fitting check condition of tensioners etc for any problems which may have caused belt shredding in the first place. Good luck.D..
