Independent JLR engine rebuilds and repairs, with collection from Canvey Island and South Benfleet.
Don't Have Reg..?
Range Rover Garage is an independent JLR specialist devoted to Range Rover, Land Rover and Jaguar engines. Canvey Island owners gain a practical main dealer alternative, with factory-trained engineers who diagnose, rebuild and replace Ingenium, TDV6, SDV6 and TDV8 engines across Defender, Discovery, Velar, Evoque and Range Rover Sport.
Our workshop is in Grays, Essex, reached from the island via Canvey Way and the A13, and we collect vehicles from across the SS8 postcode area, plus South Benfleet, Hadleigh and Leigh-on-Sea. Diagnostics and an itemised quote come first, and most rebuilds take 7 to 14 working days.
Check for Corroded Connectors
Coastal air can corrode electrical connectors over time, sometimes triggering engine warnings or rough running. If you have noticed white or green deposits on battery terminals or visible plugs, mention it when booking so we can inspect them first.
Rising oil consumption, a knock that worsens under load or blue smoke on start-up usually point to wear needing a full Range Rover engine rebuild.
We strip, ultrasonically clean, machine and rebuild every engine with genuine OEM parts, then pressure-test and run it under load before return.
Warning lights, misfires, rough idle or sudden limp mode on your Land Rover need accurate fault finding before any parts are ordered or fitted.
Our engineers pair dealer-level diagnostic equipment with hands-on checks, including wiring and connectors, and same-day diagnostics are available on most bookings once your vehicle arrives.
If repair costs outweigh your Defender's value, we supply and fit tested reconditioned engines matched carefully to its engine code.
Reconditioned units carry six months' warranty, with extended dealer-level cover of up to 24 months available.
With only a couple of roads on and off the island, a breakdown on Canvey Way is the last thing any owner wants. Our collection service reduces that worry: we pick up your vehicle from home or work, complete diagnostics and repairs at our Grays workshop, and return it once signed off. Our factory-trained engineers work only on Range Rover, Land Rover and Jaguar engines, fit genuine or OEM-grade parts and agree an itemised quote before any work begins.
Collection Across Canvey Island and SS8
Our Services
As well as rebuilds and replacements, our engineers repair specific engine faults on Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Evoque, Velar, Vogue, Discovery and Defender models collected from across Canvey Island.

A metallic rattle for a few seconds after starting from cold is a familiar Range Rover common fault, usually caused by a stretched timing chain. We replace the chains, guides and tensioners together, helping prevent costly valve damage.

Lost power heading off the island, a whistle under acceleration or blue smoke can all indicate turbocharger failure. We check the oil feed, boost hoses and actuator before fitting a replacement, so the original fault is properly dealt with.

Coolant loss with no obvious leak, a temperature gauge that creeps upwards or white vapour after warm-up can suggest head gasket failure. We pressure-test the cooling system and check the cylinder heads for warping and cracks before repairing.

Oil leaks, injector faults, corroded sensor connectors and sticking EGR valves can often be repaired without a rebuild. Our engineers fix the specific problem, keeping costs proportionate, and test the engine thoroughly before it is returned to you.

For higher-mileage Discovery, Freelander and older Range Rover models, fitting a tested second-hand engine can be the most practical, budget-conscious option. We confirm full compatibility with your vehicle first, and every engine swap includes one month's warranty as standard.

Older Land Rover engines with a timing belt must have it renewed at the interval the manufacturer specifies. We carry out scheduled and emergency belt changes, helping you avoid the valve and piston damage that follows a belt failure.

"My Evoque threw an engine warning and started idling roughly. Their diagnostics found a corroded connector on the crankshaft sensor, likely from the sea air, and they showed me the damaged plug before cleaning and resealing it."
Debbie Collins
"I wanted to understand exactly what my Jaguar F-Type's turbo repair involved before agreeing. They explained the cause, emailed an itemised quote and rang once the work was finished, which I really appreciated."

"Getting off Canvey with a misfiring Discovery 4 wasn't something I wanted to risk. They collected it from my drive near the seafront and returned it the following week on the day they'd said."
