Range Rover Engine Rebuilds and Replacements, Fast Turnaround with Up to 50% Discount

A Range Rover is built to work hard, but its engine can still let you down. The 3.0 TDV6 and SDV6 are known for crankshaft and bearing wear. The 2.0 Ingenium diesel can stretch its timing chain. The 2.2 TD4 in the Evoque can burn oil and block the DPF. When one of these faults hits, a main dealer price can feel like a second mortgage.

Apex Engines helps UK Range Rover owners get back on the road without that bill. We supply, rebuild and recondition Range Rover engines for every model, including the Evoque, Sport, Velar and Vogue. Our in-house rebuilding facility means the strip, clean, machine, rebuild, and test all happen under one roof, by expert technicians who work on these engines daily.

You can choose a fully tested used engine, a refurbished unit or a fully reconditioned engine built to OEM tolerances. We also offer a complete supply and fit service, so the old engine comes out and the replacement goes in without you visiting three garages. Every engine is checked, tested and backed by up to 12 month warranty, depending on the type of engine service you choose. You just need to enter your vehicle registration number and book your engine service now. You can also call us to speak to one of our engine specialists, who will give you the best advice according to your budget and needs.

Common Range Rover Engine Problems, Causes and Our Solution

Affected Models
Common Problem
Symptoms and Cause
Our Engine Solution

Range Rover Sport, Vogue and Discovery 3.0 TDV6 / SDV6 (2010–2017)

Crankshaft and main bearing failure

Deep knocking under load, metal in the oil, oil pressure warning light, sudden seizure. Caused by worn or spun bearings, narrow crank journals and poor oil flow to the centre bearings.

We inspect the bottom end and oil pressure, then rebuild with new bearings or fit a fully reconditioned long engine.

Range Rover Evoque, Velar and Sport 2.0 Ingenium diesel and 2.2 TD4

Timing chain stretch

Cold start rattle, engine management light, rough idle, fault codes P0008 or P0016. Caused by chain stretch, worn guides, weak tensioners and oil dilution from short trips.

We replace the chain, guides and tensioner, check for valve or piston damage, and rebuild if needed.

Evoque 2.2 TD4 / SD4 and 3.0 TDV6 / SDV6 diesels

DPF blockage and EGR carbon build up

Limp mode, black smoke, DPF light, poor acceleration and failed regeneration. Caused by short journeys and soot build up in the filter and EGR valve.

We test the DPF and EGR, clean or replace blocked parts, and check for deeper engine damage.

Evoque 2.2 SD4 and 2.0 Ingenium petrol

Excessive oil consumption

Blue smoke on start-up, low oil level between services, misfire and rough running. Caused by worn piston rings, valve stem seals or turbo oil seals.

We run a compression and bore test, then rebuild the top end or supply a reconditioned engine.

3.0 SDV6, 2.2 SD4 and 2.0 Ingenium diesel

Turbocharger failure

Loss of power, loud whistle, smoke and oil in the intercooler pipes. Caused by oil starvation, carbon build-up, or worn turbo bearings.

We inspect the turbo, oil feed and intercooler, then repair or replace the unit and clean the system.

3.0 TDV6 / SDV6 and high mileage Ingenium engines

Low oil pressure and oil pump wear

Oil light at idle, top end rattle and noisy running. Caused by a worn pump, blocked pickup strainer or internal bearing wear.

We test oil pressure, clean or replace the pickup and pump, and rebuild the engine if bearings are damaged.

2.0 Ingenium, V6 and V8 petrol and diesel models

Coolant leak and overheating

Coolant loss, temperature warning, steam and rough idle. Caused by water pump, thermostat, housing or hose failure, which can then damage the head gasket.

We pressure test the cooling system, replace failed parts, bleed the circuit and check for head gasket damage.

3.0 TDV6 / SDV6 and V8 models after overheating

Head gasket failure

Mayonnaise in the oil, overheating, white smoke and bubbling in the expansion tank. Caused by overheating that warps the cylinder head.

We pressure test the system, skim or replace the head, and rebuild or fit a reconditioned engine.

Used, Rebuild and Reconditioned Range Rover Engine Options

We offer three main engine options so you can match the repair to your budget.

  • Our used Range Rover engines are sourced from low mileage donor vehicles and are compression and oil pressure tested before sale. They are the lowest cost route back on the road when the rest of the car is solid.
  • Our refurbished engines are stripped, cleaned and inspected, with worn parts replaced before reassembly. A refurbished unit gives you more confidence than a used engine and suits drivers who want reliability without the cost of a full rebuild.
  • Our reconditioned engines are a complete in house rebuild. The engine is dismantled, chemically cleaned, measured against OEM tolerances, machined where needed and rebuilt with new bearings, rings, gaskets, seals, timing parts and oil pump. This is the option we recommend for crankshaft failure, severe oil consumption or any engine that has lost compression.

We also carry out engine diagnostics, timing chain repair, turbo replacement, cooling system repairs and DPF and EGR work. If you know the fault, we can quote the repair directly. If not, we diagnose first so you only pay for work you need.

Our In-House Range Rover Engine Rebuilding Process

The in-house rebuilding facility we offer is what sets us apart from brokers who only sell engines. Every rebuild is done by our own technicians in our own workshop, so we control quality at every stage.

We start by removing the engine and stripping it to the last bolt. Every part is cleaned in an industrial parts washer and checked for cracks, wear and scoring. Cylinder bores are measured with a bore gauge, the crankshaft is checked with a micrometre, and the cylinder head is pressure tested.

Parts that fall outside tolerance are machined or replaced. We bore and hone cylinders, grind and polish the crankshaft, resurface and valve grind the head, and fit new piston rings, main and big end bearings, gaskets, seals, timing chains, guides, tensioners and an oil pump. Only OEM grade parts are used.

The engine is then reassembled to factory torque settings and cold tested for oil pressure and compression before it is run. Once fitted, we carry out a full diagnostic check and road test so the engine is proven before you drive home.

Why Choose Apex Engines for Range Rover Engine Supply and Fitting?

Range Rover engines are expensive at a main dealer, and a cheap used engine from an unknown seller can fail within weeks. Apex Engines sits in the middle: specialist workmanship at a fair price, with a warranty behind every unit.

Our technicians work on Range Rover and Land Rover engines full time. We know the TDV6 and SDV6 crankshaft issue, the Ingenium timing chain fault and the Evoque oil consumption problem, so we diagnose quickly and fix the root cause instead of guessing.

We offer a complete supply and fit service that covers recovery of your vehicle, removal of the old engine, fitting of the replacement, ancillary transfer, ECU coding, testing and handover. You deal with one team from start to finish, and we keep you updated throughout the work.

Every reconditioned engine comes with up to 12 months warranty, and we offer a price match on engines of the same quality. Trade customers, fleet operators and garages can also use our supply only service.

Range Rover Models and Engines We Cover

We supply and fit engines for the full Range Rover line up on UK roads. That includes the Evoque in both 2.2 TD4 and 2.0 Ingenium diesel form, plus the 2.0 Si4 petrol. It includes the Range Rover Sport with the 3.0 TDV6 and SDV6, the 2.0 Ingenium and the larger V8 petrol and diesel units. We also cover the Velar and Vogue across their 2.0, 3.0 and V8 ranges.

If you drive an older 2.7 TDV6, a 4.4 TDV8 or a 5.0 Supercharged V8, we can help as well. We match each engine to your registration and chassis number so the unit is the correct specification, with the right fuel system, turbo setup and ancillary mounting points. We confirm the exact engine code before any work starts.

Range Rover Engine Supply, Fit and Nationwide Delivery

Our supply and fit service is the simplest option for most owners. Contact us with your registration and the fault, and we will quote the right engine for your vehicle. If your Range Rover cannot be driven, we can arrange recovery to our workshop. Once the engine is fitted and tested, we hand the car back ready for the road.

If you prefer to use your own mechanic, or you are a garage working on a customer's car, we offer a supply only service. Every supply only engine is pallet wrapped and delivered across the UK using a secure carrier. Each unit leaves our workshop with a build sheet, a warranty and clear advice on the first service and running in procedure.

Whether you need a single repair, a fully reconditioned engine or a fleet kept on the road, Apex Engines gives you a clear quote, a proper rebuild and aftercare you can rely on.
