Land Rover Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic Known Issues by Engine

SDV8 (Diesel, L494) If your Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic has the SDV8 diesel — a 4.4-litre V8 fitted to L494-generation cars — it shares the same timing chain wear pattern as the TDV6 and SDV6 across the Range Rover range. We replace timing chain components, injector seals, and gaskets as standard on every SDV8 rebuild.

AJ-V8 Supercharged (Petrol, L494) If your Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic has the supercharged AJ-V8 — a 5.0-litre V8 — timing chain wear and coolant system leaks are the established pattern for this engine family. We replace timing chains, valve seals and coolant components as standard on every AJ-V8 rebuild.

Land Rover Range Rover Sport Autobiography DynamicENGINE OPTIONS

Every Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.

01MOST POPULAR

REBUILDING YOUR RANGE ROVER SPORT AUTOBIOGRAPHY DYNAMIC ENGINE

Most engine suppliers sell you a used engine of unknown history and hope it matches. We rebuild the engine your Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic already has instead — strip it down, pressure-test it, and replace every worn or damaged component (timing chain, injector seals, bearings, gaskets, DC-DC converter) 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 Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic owners choose, and it's the one we'd recommend for most situations.

02

RECONDITIONED RANGE ROVER SPORT AUTOBIOGRAPHY DYNAMIC 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 RANGE ROVER SPORT AUTOBIOGRAPHY DYNAMIC 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 RANGE ROVER SPORT AUTOBIOGRAPHY DYNAMIC 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 SDV8 or AJ-V8.

05

REPLACEMENT RANGE ROVER SPORT AUTOBIOGRAPHY DYNAMIC 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 RANGE ROVER SPORT AUTOBIOGRAPHY DYNAMIC 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?

Enter your registration below and we'll confirm your SDV8 or AJ-V8 and talk you through the best solution for your Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic, honestly.

ABOUT THE Land Rover Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic ENGINE

Land Rover engine and vehicle

The Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic was a premium trim level offered on the L494-generation Range Rover Sport from 2013 to 2022. Under the bonnet, it could be specified with either the SDV8 — a 4.4-litre V8 diesel — or the supercharged AJ-V8, a 5.0-litre V8 petrol. Both are high-performance engines that sit at the top of the Sport range, and both have their own established wear patterns that we address as standard during a rebuild. The Autobiography Dynamic trim 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 SDV8 or AJ-V8 engines for every Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic on the road.

Land Rover Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic ENGINE CODES

SDV8

SDV8 (L494)

A 4.4-litre V8 diesel fitted to the Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic from 2013 to 2022. Shares the same timing chain wear pattern as the TDV6 and SDV6 across the Range Rover range. We replace timing chain components, injector seals, and gaskets as standard on every SDV8 rebuild.

Check Your SDV8 Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic

A 5.0-litre supercharged V8 petrol fitted to the Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic from 2013 to 2022. Timing chain wear and coolant system leaks are the established pattern for this engine family. We replace timing chains, valve seals and coolant components as standard on every AJ-V8 rebuild.

Land Rover Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

Land Rover Land Rover vehicle in workshop

Because the Autobiography Dynamic was offered with two distinct V8 engines, it's essential to confirm which one your car has before any work begins. Fitting the wrong replacement — or assuming an SDV8 part will work on an AJ-V8 car — risks a compatibility problem that's expensive to unpick. Before we quote or supply anything, we confirm:

Your exact engine code (SDV8 or AJ-V8) 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.
