Replacement Land Rover Freelander 2 Engines

Apex Engines provides used and reconditioned Land Rover Freelander 2 engines for vehicles with serious engine damage. We have over 30 years of experience in both supplying and fitting the replacement Freelander 2 engines. We offer all the engine replacement services under one roof. From identifying the correct engine from your vehicle details, arranging collection where required, fitting the replacement and carrying out final diagnostic checks.

The Freelander 2 was offered with several engines, but the 2.2-litre diesel is by far the most common in the UK. This includes TD4, SD4 and eD4 versions, while earlier models were also available with a less common 3.2-litre petrol engine.

Correct engine identification matters because power output, model year, emissions equipment and engine specification can vary. We therefore use your registration and, where required, the engine code or other vehicle details before confirming a replacement.

Engine Selection: Used or Reconditioned Freelander 2 Engine?

Instead of spending huge amounts on brand new engine from a dealership, you can choose a used Freelander 2 engine as a practical lower cost option. At Apex Engines, we procure low mileage used engines and perform extensive inspections and dismantling, if required, to replace worn out components or perform repairs.

If you are looking to replace your engine with bulletproof reliability and new like performance, then a reconditioned engine is the best choice. We take a low-mileage used engine, disassemble it down to the block, assess every component, replace any worn or damaged components, and reassemble the engine according to factory standards. Our technicians have decades of experience and can guide you on both options after identifying the exact engine fitted to your Freelander 2.

Freelander 2 Engine Replacement and Fitting Service

We offer factory level Freelander 2 engine replacement and fitting service under one roof. We start by identifying the exact vehicle, and then we move on to assess the vehicle and discuss your budget to determine whether a used engine, reconditioned replacement or rebuild is the most suitable option.

For supply-and-fit work, the failed engine is removed at our Preston workshop, and the replacement is professionally installed. Non-running vehicles can also be collected and transported to us.

After installation, relevant diagnostic checks and road testing are completed before handover. If you only require an engine, ask about supply-only availability and delivery.

This gives you one point of contact from the initial diagnosis through to installation and final testing.
