Range Rover & Land Rover Engine Specialist for Tilbury, Grays and Chadwell St Mary
Range Rover Garage is an independent JLR specialist working exclusively on Range Rover, Land Rover and Jaguar engines. Based in Thurrock, we are a local main dealer alternative for Tilbury owners, with factory-trained engineers who rebuild and repair Ingenium, TDV6, SDV6 and TDV8 engines across Defender, Discovery and Range Rover.
Our workshop at Hedley Avenue in Grays is a short drive from Tilbury, so you can call in as a walk-in or pre-book an appointment. We also collect from across RM18, including West Tilbury, plus nearby Chadwell St Mary, and most rebuilds are completed within 7 to 14 working days.
Call Ahead for Diagnostics
Walk-ins are welcome, but calling before you arrive lets us plan workshop time for your vehicle. Same-day diagnostics are available on most bookings, so sharing your registration and symptoms in advance helps us prepare properly for your visit.
Range Rover Engine Rebuild Tilbury
Bottom-end knocking, low oil pressure or excessive oil consumption usually indicate internal wear that only a full Range Rover engine rebuild will resolve.
Every engine is stripped, ultrasonically cleaned, machined and rebuilt with genuine OEM parts, then pressure-tested and run under load before sign-off at our workshop.
Defender Head Gasket Replacement Tilbury
Overheating, coolant disappearing without a visible leak or a creamy residue under the oil cap are common head gasket warning signs on Defenders.
We pressure-test the cooling system, check the cylinder heads for warping and cracks, and complete the repair before further engine damage occurs.
Land Rover Engine Replacement
When a rebuild is no longer economical, we supply and fit tested reconditioned engines matched to your Land Rover's engine code.
Reconditioned units carry six months' warranty, with extended dealer-level cover of up to 24 months available.

Our Services
Land Rover and Range Rover Engine Repairs for Tilbury, Grays and West Tilbury
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 throughout Tilbury and Thurrock.
Engine Diagnostics
A warning light on the A1089, rough running or sudden limp mode can each have several possible causes. Our engineers read live data with dealer-level equipment, confirm the fault with physical checks and offer same-day diagnostics on most bookings.

Timing Chain Replacement
A brief metallic rattle on a cold start is one of the most common Range Rover engine problems and typically signals timing chain stretch. We replace the chains, guides and tensioners together, helping prevent jumped timing and valve damage.

Turbo Replacement
Lost power, a high-pitched whistle or blue smoke under acceleration can indicate a failing turbocharger. Before fitting a replacement, we check the oil supply, boost pipework and actuator, so the new turbo is not let down by the original fault.

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 the most practical way back on the road. We confirm full compatibility before fitting, and engine swaps include one month's warranty as standard.

Timing Belt Replacement
Earlier Land Rover engines with a timing belt need it renewed at the manufacturer's set interval. We carry out scheduled and emergency belt changes, helping you avoid the bent valves, damaged pistons and heavy repair bills a snapped belt brings.

"Our Defender 110 was overheating when towing and losing coolant overnight. They found a failed water pump and a split bottom hose, replaced both with genuine parts and pressure-tested the system before handing it back to us."
Paul Gibbons
"The Velar showed an engine warning on the way back from Tilbury docks. Their diagnostics pinpointed a failing knock sensor, and they explained the readings clearly before recommending the repair, rather than guessing at parts."
Stephanie Ward
"Popping into the workshop with my Jaguar XE was easy from Tilbury, and the team explained the timing chain quote line by line. I had a call before any extra work and another when it was ready."
Ahmed Farouk
"I'm in Chadwell St Mary and work long hours, so collection suited me better than dropping the Discovery 3 off myself. They picked it up early, kept me posted and returned it with the paperwork explained."
