Land Rover Discovery D300 Oil Leaks & Coolant System Wear (AJ300D I6)

The AJ300D is a sophisticated 3.0-litre inline-six with an integrated starter-generator and electric auxiliary compressor — a more modern and efficient design than the older AJ300D V6. We replace timing chains, bearings, water pump and gaskets as standard on every AJ300D rebuild.

Because the Discovery D300 uses a completely different engine family from the V8 M178 fitted to the Discovery 63 and GT 63 S, parts and rebuild specifications don't cross over between them.

Source: Established AJ300D specialist pattern — timing chain, bearing and gasket wear across integrated-starter-generator inline-six units.

Land Rover Discovery D300ENGINE OPTIONS

Every Discovery D300 is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.

01MOST POPULAR

REBUILDING YOUR DISCOVERY D300 ENGINE

Most engine suppliers sell you a used engine of unknown history and hope it matches. We rebuild the engine your Discovery D300 already has instead — strip it down, pressure-test it, and replace every worn or damaged component (timing chain components, injector seals, bearings, gaskets) with updated OEM parts. You get a near-new engine with a 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty, without the compatibility risk of an unknown used unit. This is the option most Discovery D300 owners choose, and it's the one we'd recommend for most situations.

02

RECONDITIONED DISCOVERY D300 ENGINES

"Reconditioned" is the term many owners search for when they mean the same thing as a rebuild — a full strip-down, inspection, and replacement of worn parts rather than a straight swap. If that's what you're after, our rebuild service is exactly that.

03

REFURBISHED DISCOVERY D300 ENGINES

Similarly, "refurbished" often describes the same process from a different angle — restoring your existing engine to full working condition rather than replacing it outright. Our rebuild covers this.

04

REMANUFACTURED DISCOVERY D300 ENGINES

Some owners specifically search for a "remanufactured" engine, expecting a unit rebuilt to original specification with updated components. That's consistent with what our rebuild service delivers on the AJ300D.

05

REPLACEMENT DISCOVERY D300 ENGINES

If your existing engine is beyond economical repair, we also offer full engine replacement and fitting — sourced and fitted by our team, with the same 12-month warranty.

06

USED DISCOVERY D300 ENGINES

In some cases, a matched low-mileage used engine is the right call — particularly if you need your car back on the road quickly and your existing engine's damage is extensive. We can source and fit these too, though most owners who ask about used engines end up choosing a rebuild once they understand the compatibility risk a used unit carries. Enter your reg below and we'll talk you through both options honestly.

NOT SURE WHICH OPTION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

ABOUT THE Land Rover Discovery D300 ENGINE

Land Rover AMG GT 53 engine and sedan

The Discovery D300 is part of the current-generation Discovery 5 (L462) range, introduced in 2017. It uses the Ingenium AJ300D — a 3.0-litre inline-six diesel with mild-hybrid technology. This engine sits above the D250 in the Discovery diesel line-up, offering more power while maintaining the efficiency benefits of the MHEV system. The AJ300D represents a more modern design than the older TDV6 and SDV6 units found in the Discovery 3 and 4, with a different architecture and improved reliability characteristics.

We continue to rebuild and replace AJ300D engines for every Discovery D300 on the road.

Land Rover Discovery D300 ENGINE CODES

A 3.0-litre inline-six diesel fitted to the Discovery D300 from 2017 to present (D5/L462 generation). This Ingenium diesel shares the same broad timing chain family pattern as other JLR Ingenium diesel applications. We replace timing chain components, injector seals, bearings, and gaskets as standard on every rebuild. Check Your AJ300D Discovery D300 → [link to quote form]

Land Rover Discovery D300 ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

Land Rover touring in workshop

The Discovery D300 uses the Ingenium AJ300D engine exclusively across its production run. When quoting or supplying, we confirm:

Your exact engine code (AJ300D) via registration or VIN

Your generation (D5/L462)

Drivetrain and ancillary specification

Any electronics or ECU considerations specific to your exact build

This is why we always start with your registration rather than a generic Discovery quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
