The Discovery TDV8 uses the 4.4-litre V8 diesel engine, fitted across the D3 and D4 generations from 2004 to 2016. It shares its fundamental architecture with the TDV6/SDV6 family, with the same timing chain, injector seal, and EGR components — just in a V8 configuration with four extra cylinders. The TDV8 was positioned as the range-topping diesel option during this era, offering more power and torque than its V6 stablemates. If you have a Discovery with the TDV8 badge, the engine's known wear patterns are well understood at this point — and we know exactly what to address during a rebuild. Land Rover Discovery TDV8 Engine Compatibility Because the Discovery TDV8 spans two generations (D3 and D4) with running changes between them, fitting the wrong replacement — or assuming parts are interchangeable across all years — risks a compatibility problem that's expensive to unpick. Before we quote or supply anything, we confirm: - Your exact year and generation (D3/L319 or D4/L319 facelift) - 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 TDV8 quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual vehicle.

Do you rebuild Land Rover Discovery TDV8 engines? Yes. We replace timing chain components, injector seals, EGR components, turbo components, and gaskets as standard on every TDV8 rebuild.

Yes — nationwide recovery is available from £70, and most vehicles are collected within a few hours of booking. How long does a Discovery TDV8 engine rebuild take?
