Land Rover Discovery SDV6 Timing Chain & Crankshaft Bearing Wear
If your Discovery is a D3 or D4 model with the SDV6 diesel V6 - that's the 3.0-litre unit fitted from 2004 to 2016 - timing chain tensioner wear, injector seal leaks and crankshaft bearing failure risk are well-documented patterns on this engine family, backed by multiple technical service bulletins and specialist sources.
We replace timing chain components, injector seals and gaskets as standard on every SDV6 rebuild.
Source: widely documented, multiple TSBs and specialist sources (per G-BRF Land Rover). SDV6 confirmed as affected; TDV6 shares the same pattern; other Discovery variants with different engine families are not affected by this specific issue

LOOKING FOR A USED OR REPLACEMENT ENGINE INSTEAD?
We supply low-mileage, VIN-matched used units too, and offer full replacement and fitting. However, most Discovery SDV6 owners choose a rebuild once they realise it removes compatibility risk and works out more cost-effective over the life of the SUV. Enter your reg below and we'll show you every option, honestly.
ABOUT THE Land Rover Discovery SDV6 ENGINE

The Discovery SDV6 was introduced as a higher-output variant of the 3.0-litre V6 diesel that powered the D3 and D4 generations of the Discovery. Essentially a more powerful tune of the same 3.0-litre V6 shared with the TDV6, the SDV6 offered improved performance while sitting on the same engine architecture. It was fitted across both the D3 (2004-2009) and D4 (2009-2016) generations, making it one of the most common Discovery engines of that era.
We continue to rebuild and replace SDV6 engines for every Discovery SDV6 on the road.
Land Rover Discovery SDV6 ENGINE CODES
A 3.0-litre V6 diesel fitted to the Discovery D3 and D4 from 2004 to 2016. Known for timing chain tensioner wear, injector seal leaks and crankshaft bearing failure risk - see the callout above. We replace timing chain components, injector seals and gaskets as standard on every SDV6 rebuild.
Check Your SDV6 Discovery SDV6Land Rover Discovery SDV6 ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

Because the SDV6 sits on the same 3.0-litre diesel V6 family as the TDV6 but with a higher state of tune, compatibility matters. We confirm:
Your exact engine code (SDV6) via registration or VIN
Your generation (L663)
Drivetrain and ancillary specification
Whether your build falls in the early production period (2019-2020) for injector fault coverage
This is why we always start with your registration rather than a generic Defender quote - it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
