On the 3.5L V8, a worn or incorrectly sized belt causes alternator slip, resulting in undercharging, battery drain, and potential electrical failure. Correct belt specification is critical, as air conditioning variants run a different pulley arrangement to non-air con configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV-belt profile matched to the 3.5L V8 alternator pulley configuration with air conditioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement requiring no modification to existing pulley brackets or tensioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecified for vehicles with air conditioning - do not substitute with the non-air con belt variant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect the idler pulley and tensioner for wear when replacing; replace belt at signs of glazing, cracking, or fraying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits Discovery 1 (1989–1998) and Range Rover Classic with 3.5L V8 engines (EFi, Twin Carb, excluding Police spec) where air conditioning is fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure about fitment?
