Discovery 3 Engine Specs, Size and Information

The Land Rover Discovery 3 entered production in 2004. The most common engine is the 2.7-litre TDV6 diesel, which displaces 2,720 cm³ and produces around 187 horsepower and 445 Nm of torque. This engine uses a turbocharger and intercooler and features 24 valves. For owners wondering about the Land Rover Discovery 3 engine size: the 2.7 V6 is compact yet strong, while the 3.0 L V6 diesel and 3.9 L petrol engines provide more power. Oil maintenance is crucial; the Land Rover Discovery 3 2.7 TDV6 engine oil capacity is around 6.8 litres dry and 5.7 litres on a service refill, and the recommended oil spec is 5W-30 synthetic. Using the correct Land Rover Discovery 3 engine oil helps maintain lubrication and cooling.

We stock Land Rover Discovery 3 engines in various sizes, including the Land Rover Discovery 3.0 diesel engine and the Land Rover Discovery engine 3.0-L V6 diesel. Petrol variant drivers can choose the Land Rover Discovery 3 petrol engine or even the 3.9-litre unit. For customers comparing the Land Rover Discovery 3 diesel engine for sale with the petrol versions, the diesel offers better torque for towing, while petrol engines are smoother and quieter. Whatever your choice, we can supply and fit the correct engine code for your vehicle.

Common Land Rover Engines' Problems, Diagnostics and Replacement

Understanding common Land Rover Discovery 3 engine problems helps you decide when to replace or rebuild. Owners report issues such as oil seal leaks around the crankshaft, failing thermostats and air compressors, worn lower control arms and electronic handbrake faults. With the 2.7 TDV6, weak spots on the crankshaft may cause breakage or bearing failure. Drivers sometimes see a Land Rover Discovery 3 engine system fault message or experience loss of power; this can be due to clogged fuel filters or turbo issues. Routine checks of the Land Rover Discovery 3 engine diagram—showing components like the oil pump and tensioner—can reveal worn parts before they fail. We recommend a full diagnostic if you notice unusual noises, smoke, oil loss or the engine system fault message.

When repairs become too costly, a replacement engine is often the best option. The Land Rover Discovery 3 engine replacement cost is lower when buying a used or reconditioned engine from Apex Engines than purchasing new from a main dealer. Because we rebuild the engines ourselves, we can offer up to 40 % discount while still providing warranty. For those wanting to improve performance or reliability, we can discuss Land Rover Discovery 3 engine swap options—for example, fitting a newer 3.0 L V6 diesel or a petrol V8 in place of the 2.7 TDV6. Our specialists will guide you through compatibility, cost and installation.

Used, Reconditioned & Rebuilt Land Rover Discovery 3 Engine for Sale

We offer several choices to suit different budgets and vehicle conditions:

• Used Engines: A used Land Rover Discovery 3 reconditioned engine is removed from a donor vehicle and checked for compression, oil pressure and leaks. It’s the cheapest option and works well if your Discovery is already high mileage.
• Reconditioned Engines: A reconditioned engine is fully dismantled, cleaned, machined and rebuilt. Defective parts like crankshafts, bearings and oil pumps are replaced, and the engine is tested for compression, smoke and pressure. Our reconditioned engines deliver reliability similar to a new unit and include warranty.
• Engine Swaps and Upgrades: If you want more power or efficiency, consider an engine swap. We can install a Land Rover Discovery 3.0 diesel engine or even a 3.9-litre petrol unit in place of the 2.7 TDV6. Upgrading to a newer engine can fix persistent issues and add value to your vehicle.

Whatever option you choose, we supply and fit the engine. If you prefer to rebuild the engine yourself, we can provide a bare block, engine parts, gaskets and a service kit with the correct oil spec. We also carry other models, such as engines for Land Rover Freelander and Range Rover Sport.
