Independent JLR engine rebuilds and repairs, with collection from Canvey Island, Benfleet and Hadleigh.
Don't Have Reg..?
Range Rover Garage is an independent JLR specialist working only on Range Rover, Land Rover and Jaguar engines. Across Castle Point, we offer owners a practical main dealer alternative, with factory-trained engineers who rebuild and repair Ingenium, TDV6, SDV6 and TDV8 engines in Defender, Discovery, Evoque and Range Rover Sport.
Our workshop is in Grays, Essex, a straightforward run along the A13, and we collect vehicles from across the SS7 and SS8 postcode areas, including Canvey Island, South Benfleet and Hadleigh. Diagnostics and an itemised quote always come first, and most rebuilds are completed within 7 to 14 working days.
Rule Out a Weak Battery
Modern Land Rover and Range Rover models can display engine warnings when battery voltage drops, particularly after frequent short trips. If several warnings appeared together, mention your battery's age when booking so it can be checked first during diagnostics.
Heavy oil consumption, a deep knock under load or low compression readings usually signal internal wear that calls for a full Range Rover engine rebuild.
We strip, ultrasonically clean, machine and rebuild each engine with genuine OEM parts, then pressure-test it and run it under load before return.
Loss of power on the A130, a rising whistle or blue smoke under acceleration are typical signs of a failing turbo on Land Rover engines.
We check the oil supply, boost hoses and actuator first, so your replacement turbocharger is not damaged by the same underlying fault.
Where a rebuild is no longer economical, we supply and fit tested reconditioned engines matched to your Defender's engine code.
Reconditioned units carry six months' warranty, with extended dealer-level cover of up to 24 months also available.
Whether you live on Canvey Island or closer to Hadleigh, you can bring your vehicle to our Grays workshop as a walk-in or pre-booked appointment, or arrange collection from home or work. 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. You approve an itemised quote before any work begins and receive direct updates from our team rather than automated messages.
Collection Across Castle Point and SS7–SS8
Our Services
Beyond rebuilds and replacements, our engineers repair specific engine faults on Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Evoque, Velar, Vogue, Discovery and Defender models across Castle Point and south-east Essex.
A flashing engine light, hesitation pulling away or sudden limp mode on Canvey Way can each have several possible causes. We combine dealer-level diagnostic equipment with hands-on checks to confirm the fault, and same-day diagnostics are available on most bookings.

A rattle lasting a few seconds after a cold start is one of the best-known Range Rover engine problems, usually caused by chain stretch. We replace the chains, guides and tensioners together before the timing can jump and damage valves.

Overheating in traffic, regular coolant top-ups or white vapour that persists after warm-up can all indicate head gasket failure. We pressure-test the cooling system and inspect the cylinder heads for warping and cracks before carrying out the repair.

Not every engine fault needs a rebuild. Oil leaks, injector problems, sticking EGR valves and failed sensors can often be repaired individually, keeping your costs proportionate, and every engine is tested thoroughly before it is returned to you.

For higher-mileage Discovery, Freelander and older Range Rover models, a tested second-hand engine can be a practical, cost-effective option. We confirm full compatibility with your vehicle before fitting, and every engine swap carries one month's warranty as standard.

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

Barry Fulton
"My Discovery Sport threw several warnings at once on Canvey Island. Their diagnostics showed a weak battery causing low-voltage faults rather than an engine problem, which saved me worrying about something far more serious for days."
Leanne Fisher
"From the first call about my Jaguar F-Pace's timing chain, I knew what to expect. They explained the likely timescale, put the cost in writing and phoned before replacing a worn water pump they'd spotted during the job."
Graham Lowe
"Getting off Canvey at peak times can take a while, so collection for the Evoque was a relief. They picked it up mid-morning from my driveway on Canvey and returned it on the day we'd agreed."
