Land Rover Defender D240 Timing Chain Wear (AJ200D)
If your Defender D240 has the Ingenium AJ200D diesel - that's every D240 ever built, since it was only produced during 2019-2020 - the Ingenium timing chain pattern is a known consideration on this engine family. We inspect and replace timing chain components, injector seals, EGR components and gaskets as standard on every AJ200D rebuild.
include_in_hero_hook: yes for AJ200D - Source: established specialist pattern, per VRF-landrover-defender.md. Note: one forum source specifically claims the D240 does NOT share the oil-dilution issue affecting other Ingenium diesels - this is flagged for awareness only and not stated as fact on the page.

ABOUT THE Land Rover Defender D240 ENGINE

The Defender D240 was a short-lived variant produced only during 2019-2020, sitting alongside the D200 as one of the early L663-generation diesel options. It uses the Ingenium AJ200D - a 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel that was essentially a higher-output version of the D200's engine. The D240 was discontinued after 2020 and replaced in the range by the D250, which uses the larger 3.0-litre six-cylinder AJ300D. The D240 is no longer in production, but we continue to rebuild and replace engines for every one still on the road.
We continue to rebuild and replace AJ200D engines for every Defender D240 on the road.
Land Rover Defender D240 ENGINE CODES

AJ200D (L663, 2019-2020)
A 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel fitted to the Defender D240 from 2019 to 2020. The AJ200D shares the Ingenium diesel family's known timing chain pattern - see the callout above. We inspect and replace timing chain components, injector seals, EGR components and gaskets as standard on every AJ200D rebuild.
Check Your AJ200D Defender D240Land Rover Defender D240 ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

The Defender D240 was produced for only two model years - 2019 and 2020 - using a single engine code throughout. That makes compatibility more straightforward than some longer-running variants, but it also means the D240 is a discontinued engine with no direct modern replacement in the current Defender range. When sourcing a used engine, we always confirm VIN matching and service history to ensure you're not inheriting someone else's wear pattern. This is why we always start with your registration rather than a generic D240 quote - it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
