2014 3.0 SDV timing chain?

Hi all
Looking at a 2014 RRS (is this LR 494) 3.0 SDV (292 bhp) Autobiography. I asked whether the timing belt has been changed and I was told by seller it has a chain.
Can someone confirm that this is correct?
I have a 2010 RRS 3.0 TDV and changed the belt at 8 years.

Many thanks 2010 Bali Blue, Reverse Camera, Winter Pack, Privacy Windows, Sunroof, Steel Tread Plates.

Sorry guys, I don't get it.

Disco_Mikey you mentioned yourself:
" Petrol engines have timing chains, the TDV8 is a chain, but all 2.7 TDV6 and 3.0 SDV6 have belts, due at 105k (112k post 2010) or 7 years, whichever comes first. "

So how can this 2014 SDV6 not have a belt but chain.

And apologies, I posted this in the wrong forum, don't know how to move it.

Disco_mikey isn't saying the SDV6 doesn't have a belt - he said it has a belt and a chain.

The timing belt goes between the crank and the exhaust cams on both banks, and then each bank has a chain between exhaust cam and intake cam.

I actually thought it was one belt and two chains based on the manual, but I'd defer to Disco_Mikey who has probably been inside more of them than I've had hot dinners Laughing

Timing belt:


Chain (both sides so x2)

Your vendor is trying to persuade you that he doesn't need to spend money on changing the 2 age/mileage dependant belts on the car. One belt on the front; the cambelt (as has been said connects the crank to the cams and hence the timing), and the timed High Pressure Fuel pump belt at the back of the engine which supplies the high pressure fuel to the common rail. I have never read anywhere that the chains connecting the cam sprockets are serviceable items.
The fact of the matter is that the 2 belts need changing before you buy it and the seller either has it done before you buy it or he reduces his asking price to cover you having it done. You must decide if the vendor doesn't know this, or if he/she is lying to you.

Thanks a lot guys. Dropped that car, did not look great, will be getting at 2014 Causeway Grey Autobiography with 66,000 km, excellent state, and dealer will replace the 2 belts. 2010 Bali Blue, Reverse Camera, Winter Pack, Privacy Windows, Sunroof, Steel Tread Plates.
