Don't Have Reg..?
Independent Range Rover & Land Rover Engine Specialist for Gravesend, Northfleet and Higham
Range Rover Garage is an independent JLR specialist working exclusively on Range Rover, Land Rover and Jaguar engines. For Gravesend owners, we offer a trusted main dealer alternative, with factory-trained engineers who diagnose and rebuild Ingenium, TDV6, SDV6 and TDV8 engines across Defender, Discovery, Evoque and Range Rover Sport models.
Our workshop sits in Grays, just across the river, and we collect vehicles from throughout the DA11 and DA12 postcode areas, including Northfleet and Chalk, plus nearby Higham. Full diagnostics and an itemised quote come before any repair work, and most rebuilds are completed within 7 to 14 working days.
Check the Oil Level
With the vehicle parked on level ground and the engine off for several minutes, check the dipstick or the oil level display. A level that drops quickly between checks suggests burning or leaking, so mention it when booking.
Land Rover Engine Rebuild Gravesend
Low oil pressure, heavy smoke on start-up or a deep knock under acceleration usually point to internal wear needing a complete Land 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.
Range Rover Engine Diagnostics Gravesend
Warning lights, misfires, rough idle or sudden limp mode on your Range Rover need accurate fault finding before any parts are ordered or replaced.
Our engineers pair dealer-level diagnostic equipment with hands-on testing, and same-day diagnostics are available on most bookings once the vehicle arrives at our workshop.
Defender Engine Replacement Gravesend
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, and dealer-level cover of up to 24 months is also available.

Our Services
Land Rover and Range Rover Engine Repairs for Gravesend, Northfleet and Chalk Owners
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 north Kent.
Timing Chain Replacement
A brief rattle on a cold start is among the most familiar Range Rover common faults and usually signals timing chain stretch. We replace the chains, guides and tensioners together, helping prevent jumped timing and serious valve damage later.

Turbo Replacement
Lost power on the A2, a whistling noise under acceleration or blue smoke can all point to a failing turbo. We check the oil feed, boost hoses and actuator first, so the replacement is not damaged by the same fault.

Head Gasket Replacement
Overheating, coolant that disappears without trace or a creamy deposit under the oil filler cap can all signal head gasket failure. Our engineers pressure-test the cooling system and inspect the cylinder heads for warping and cracks before the repair.

Engine Repair
Not every engine problem needs a rebuild. Oil leaks, injector faults, sticking EGR valves and failed sensors can often be repaired individually, keeping costs proportionate, and every engine is tested 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 sensible, budget-friendly choice. We confirm full compatibility with your vehicle before fitting, and every engine swap carries one month's warranty as standard.

Timing Belt Replacement
Earlier Land Rover engines that use a timing belt need it replaced at the manufacturer's recommended interval. We carry out scheduled and emergency belt changes, protecting against the bent valves and damaged pistons a snapped belt can cause.

"Our Discovery 4 was leaking oil onto the drive and smelling hot after longer journeys. They found a failed rocker cover gasket and a weeping oil cooler, replaced both and showed us where the oil had been escaping."
Derek Hollis
"The Vogue's engine light came on near Northfleet and the car felt down on power. Their diagnostics traced it to a faulty boost control solenoid, and they explained why the turbo itself didn't need replacing before quoting."
Anita Sharma
"The timing chain work on my Jaguar F-Pace was explained clearly before anything started. I had a call when the old parts came off, another when it was reassembled, and the invoice matched the written quote exactly."
Craig Matthews
"Getting the Defender 110 over to Grays from Higham would have meant the Dartford Crossing and a lift home. Collection was booked for a morning that suited me, and it came back the following week as agreed."
