What Our Engine Rebuild Service Involves
A full engine rebuild returns your Land Rover's engine to factory specification or better. We strip the engine completely, inspect every component, machine critical surfaces, and reassemble with new bearings, piston rings, seals, and gaskets. The result is an engine that performs like new and carries a 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.
This service applies across the entire Land Rover range - from classic 200Tdi and Td5 engines in Defenders and Discoveries, through TDV6/SDV6 units in later models, to modern Ingenium diesel and petrol engines in the latest Range Rovers, Defenders, and Discoverys. We also cover AJ133 supercharged V8s in performance models and BMW-sourced V8s in the Defender Octa.
Engine Rebuild Pricing
Prices are all-inclusive (parts, labour, machining, and final testing) with no hidden extras. Final costs depend on the specific engine and any unforeseen wear discovered during strip-down.

Our Engine Rebuild Process
- 01
Arrival & Assessment
Vehicle arrives at our Essex workshop. We inspect the engine bay, check fluid levels, and discuss the vehicle's history with you.
- 02
Engine Removal
All systems are drained, ancillaries disconnected, and the engine is carefully lifted from the vehicle and mounted on a rotating stand.
- 03
Strip-Down & Inspection
Complete disassembly: heads, timing components, pistons, and crankshaft are removed. Every part is measured and inspected for wear.
- 04
Machining & Preparation
Cylinder bores are honed or bored oversize, crankshaft journals ground, and cylinder heads resurfaced. All oil galleries are flushed.
- 05
Assembly (Rebuild)
New bearings, piston rings, seals, and gaskets are fitted. Timing components are installed and set precisely to manufacturer specification.

Engine is test-run on stand, checked for oil pressure and leaks. Then reinstalled, fluids filled, and a full road test is conducted.
