Independent JLR engine rebuilds and repairs, a short drive from Brentwood down the A128.
Don't Have Reg..?
Range Rover Garage is an independent JLR specialist devoted to Range Rover, Land Rover and Jaguar engines. Brentwood owners gain a practical main dealer alternative, with factory-trained engineers experienced in diagnosing and rebuilding Ingenium, TDV6, SDV6 and TDV8 engines across Vogue, Velar, Discovery, Defender and Range Rover Sport models.
Our workshop in Grays is a straightforward drive from Brentwood, so you can visit in person or book collection from anywhere in the CM13 to CM15 postcode areas, including Shenfield and Warley, plus Ingatestone. Diagnostics and an itemised quote come first, and most rebuilds take 7 to 14 working days.
Avoid Clearing Fault Codes
If you own a code reader, resist clearing warning lights before your vehicle reaches us. Stored fault codes and freeze-frame data show what the engine was doing when the fault occurred, helping our engineers diagnose the problem accurately.
A persistent knock, low oil pressure warnings or heavy oil consumption usually indicate internal wear that only a full Range Rover engine rebuild will fix.
Each engine is stripped, ultrasonically cleaned, machined and rebuilt with genuine OEM parts, then pressure-tested and run under load before return to you.
Sluggish acceleration on the A12, a whistling noise or blue smoke from the exhaust are classic signs of a failing Land Rover turbo.
We check the oil feed, boost hoses and actuator first, so your replacement turbocharger is not damaged by the same underlying fault.
If repair costs outweigh your Defender's value, we supply and fit tested reconditioned engines matched to its exact engine code.
Reconditioned units carry six months' warranty, with extended dealer-level cover of up to 24 months also available.
Whether you drive down the A128 to our Grays workshop or prefer collection from Brentwood, Shenfield or Ingatestone, your vehicle receives the same specialist attention. Our engineers are factory-trained on Range Rover, Land Rover and Jaguar engine systems only, and every genuine or OEM-grade part we fit is checked against manufacturer specifications before fitting. An itemised quote is agreed with you before any work begins, our team keeps you updated directly throughout, and warranty documentation accompanies every completed job.

Our Services
Alongside rebuilds and replacements, our engineers repair specific engine faults on Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Evoque, Velar, Vogue, Discovery and Defender models for drivers across Brentwood and south Essex.
Warning lights on the M25, hesitation under load or sudden limp mode can each have several possible causes. Our engineers read live data with dealer-level equipment, confirm the fault physically before quoting, and offer same-day diagnostics on most bookings.

A rattle lasting a few seconds on a cold start is a well-documented Range Rover common fault, usually caused by timing chain stretch. We replace the chains, guides and tensioners together before the timing can jump and damage the valves.

Constant coolant top-ups, a temperature gauge that creeps upwards or a milky film under the oil cap can all indicate head gasket failure. We pressure-test the cooling system and inspect the cylinder heads for warping before completing the repair.

Plenty of engine faults can be fixed without a rebuild, including oil leaks, injector problems, sticking EGR valves and failed sensors. Targeted repairs keep the cost proportionate, and every engine is tested thoroughly before your vehicle is returned.

For higher-mileage Discovery, Freelander and older Range Rover models, a tested second-hand engine can be a cost-effective way back on the road. We confirm compatibility with your vehicle first, and every engine swap carries one month's warranty as standard.

Earlier Land Rover engines fitted with a timing belt need it renewed at the manufacturer's recommended interval. We carry out scheduled and emergency belt changes, helping you avoid the costly valve and piston damage a snapped belt can cause.

"My Discovery Sport flagged an engine fault on the A12 near Shenfield. Their diagnostics found a failing oil pressure sensor rather than a genuine pressure problem, which was a relief, and they explained the readings clearly before quoting."
Helen Boyce
"I wasn't sure whether my Jaguar XF was worth repairing after the turbo failed. They gave me a frank breakdown of costs, answered every follow-up question by phone and never pressured me to go ahead with the work."

"As I'm in Ingatestone without a second car, collection made a real difference with the Defender 90. They picked it up on the morning we agreed and dropped it back the following week with the work explained."
