All rover V8's are on duplex chains so you don't have a cambelt
Even history doesn't always mean a thing. Mine came with a stack load of history, but i check it anyway and found that the dealer must have serviced it with his eyes closed.Most Cam Belts are recommended to be changed at about the 80-100K mark. I hope yours was done 80K ago and even if it was it's due another. I'd seriously look at the oil leak that you've got too. We've got a big trip coming up and breaking down in the middle of Salisbury Plain would not be funny.
I changed the belt on the new engine as a matter of course. 70K on the engine and unknown history. If I were you I'd have changed Belts, all of the oils- engine, gearbox, diffs, swivels, brake fluid, power steering, greased everything, new anti-freeze, had the wheels off and checked the brakes.
A little bit of time and money now could save you a fortune later. Especially with a motor that has no history.

MHM will never make it a cross country runner.do ya wanna get left behind again? I will..........I mean it....
Unless its knocking and slack (which it aint) it don't need touching. Use a good quality oil in it tho coz they don't like the cheap ****e. They run quite hot as you know and the better the oil the longer they last. Personally I think its like you drinking supermarket cheap booze coz your tight and having the hangover from hell and a bad guts instead of quality hooch and a mellow thump in the head the next day
One of my mates worked at a dealers and it's all about getting the most vehicles through the workshop. i said how can you get the vehicles right in the time you are given to do the job, answer we don't he said. hope for the best and if a vehicle comes back apologize and correct the problem.
The cam chain won't need changing so don't worry. do the oils tho
