Can you imagine the labour charges if JLR dealer did it? A grand for an aux belt change.

That would almost make the ten hours for a 1.0l Ecoboom timing belt look like good value. Almost :-\

Must have been nearly worth changing the timing belt by the time you were 5hrs into it?  :-X
With hindsight....  :'(

There's a slight 'squeak', but it's definitely there. Sounds, to me, like a static pulley in need of lubrication.

I don't know if that's an illusion from dirt on it, but it's a valid starting point...

That's an illusion caused by my fingers wiping half the dust of that pulley.

All pulleys, idlers and other components were spun with the belt off, no noises or roughness at all.

Well, drive it as normal and, if something seizes, you'll have identified the culprit.

Why? Because it might need a belt kit change?
