Don't Have Reg..?
Independent Range Rover & Land Rover Engine Specialist for Charlton, Blackheath and Woolwich
Range Rover Garage is an independent JLR specialist working exclusively on Range Rover, Land Rover and Jaguar engines. Charlton owners gain a dependable main dealer alternative, with factory-trained engineers who diagnose, rebuild and replace Ingenium, TDV6, SDV6 and TDV8 engines across Evoque, Velar, Discovery, Defender and Range Rover Sport.
Our workshop sits in Grays, Essex, so we collect vehicles from across the SE7 postcode area, including Charlton Village, plus Blackheath, Woolwich and Greenwich, sparing you the river crossing with a struggling engine. Diagnostics and an itemised quote come first, and most rebuilds take 7 to 14 working days.
Mention Any Recent Additives
If you have used fuel or oil additives recently, mention the product and roughly when when booking. Some additives can mask symptoms or affect sensor readings, so knowing what was used helps our engineers interpret diagnostic results correctly.
Land Rover Engine Rebuild Charlton
Heavy oil use, a knock that worsens with revs or blue smoke on start-up usually point to wear needing a complete Land 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.
Range Rover Turbo Replacement Charlton
Lost power on the A102, a whistle under acceleration or blue smoke from the exhaust are typical signs of a failing Range Rover turbo.
We check the oil feed, boost hoses and actuator first, so your replacement turbocharger is not damaged by the same underlying fault.
Defender Engine Replacement Charlton
If repair costs exceed your Defender's value, we supply and fit tested reconditioned engines matched carefully to its engine code.
Reconditioned units carry six months' warranty, with dealer-level cover of up to 24 months also available.

Land Rover and Range Rover Engine Repairs for Charlton, Woolwich and Blackheath Owners
Beyond 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 Charlton and south-east London.
Engine Diagnostics
A warning light on Woolwich Road, a lumpy idle 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.

Timing Chain Replacement
A brief metallic rattle when starting from cold is one of the most common Range Rover engine problems, usually caused by chain stretch. We replace chains, guides and tensioners together, helping prevent jumped timing and serious valve damage.

Head Gasket Replacement
Overheating in traffic, coolant vanishing between top-ups or a milky deposit under the oil cap can all indicate head gasket failure. We pressure-test the cooling system and inspect the cylinder heads for warping and cracks before repairing the engine.

Engine Repair
Oil leaks, injector faults, sticking EGR valves and failed sensors can often be repaired without a rebuild. Our engineers fix the specific problem, keeping costs proportionate, and test the engine thoroughly before your vehicle is returned to you.

Engine Swap
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 includes one month's warranty as standard.

Timing Belt Replacement
Some earlier Land Rover engines rely on a timing belt that must be 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 causes.

"Our Velar had a persistent oil leak from the timing cover and a burning smell after longer drives. They resealed the cover with genuine parts, cleaned the engine and showed us exactly where the oil had been escaping."
Marcus Reed
"I'd used a fuel additive hoping to cure a misfire on my Discovery 5. Their diagnostics found a failing injector instead, and they explained why the additive had only masked the symptoms before quoting."
Chloe Adams
"My Jaguar XJ needed head gasket work, and I wanted to know the risks before deciding. They explained the options honestly, sent a written quote and phoned at each stage, which made the decision much easier."
Victor Langley
"I live near Charlton Village and didn't fancy taking a misfiring Defender 90 through the tunnel. They collected it from outside the house and returned it the following week with the work clearly explained."
