How Much It Cost To Replace The Engine In My Range Rover

I've got a 3.6 2010 L322. It's been great. Done 145k miles now, over 100k of them with me. A keeper. Still drives the same as when I bought it.

[@DrivenPlus]

Love it! Glad to hear it’s doing well!

[@bobbobbing12]

@@DrivenPlus Get your gearbox oil flushed/changed. You should do this regularly i.e 12000 miles. I have the same car owned for past 8 years.

[@GRfourfun]

Such a lot of car for the money. Glad you saved it.

[@DrivenPlus]

Thanks! So am I 😁

[@robholland1937]

The 4.4 tdv8 is definitely the better of the two v8 diesels despite having a DPF. Blank the EGRs in the 3.6 and remap it with a decent map and it will fly and breathe cleaner. Also fit a back box delete and it will sound superb.

[@joshuathompson7714]

Short story . Had a 4.4 v8 2015 diesel for years cost 3-5 k a year in odd repairs and maintenance you don’t math. Engine has been amazing though but could have gone because I had an oil leak and didn’t even realise . The car never brought up a warning light but thankfully I change the oil every 9-13k and caught a potential engine seizure . You know some people won’t even change the oil every 20k 😂

[@josephgittos3787]

Glad you sorted it and sounds sweet , even though you have spent all that money you still get a lot of car for the money and a great looking car at that inside and out.

[@DrivenPlus]

Thank you! She’s a minter now!

[@BobSmith-ui4qu]

If you follow LR Time from Germany they have many videos about the problems and solutions and the fix to the engine so it doesn’t fail.

[@paulheyes653]

Done well all in all. Well done

[@davidadams5116]

great video, glad it all worked out

[@DrivenPlus]

Thanks David!

[@eddieMurphy11111]

Well done it just shows if you hunt around it can be done the other way is have the engine reconditioned . but have you have come out proud , thanks for the video

[@DrivenPlus]

Thanks for commenting! So far so good 🙏🏼

[@rodbridgman7873]

This is a great approach...what a car for a 6k outlay...brilliant

[@DrivenPlus]

Absolutely! Time to sell it…🤣 (joking)

[@tuningemporium]

That is a bargain, as its a facelift, with new/re con turbos. good work :)

[@DrivenPlus]

Thank you!

[@andyarmstrong1493]

Well done, good decision, enjoy.

[@DrivenPlus]

Thanks Andy! Currently enjoying

[@NormanStansfield1]

You should mention the fellows who did the remove and replace on the engine. It looks like they did a great job at a bargain price. I am sure people in the UK would love to do business with them. BTW - who made the engine? Ford, BMW or ??? I lose track of Range Rover engine suppliers. Ineos was smart to use the straight 6 non-turbo BMW in their Grenadier.

[@DrivenPlus]

Of course I would’ve mentioned them but they didn’t want to be. But you’re right they did a great job. This engine is Ford

[@dannycrooks8462]

Still worth every penny

[@DrivenPlus]

My thoughts too

[@The-Audi-driver]

How much is a rebuild on that engine? It’s gotta be less than that

[@DrivenPlus]

I don’t think it would be when you tally it up

[@tonylee-UK]

Next time try MID Engineering in Wantage, Oxfordshire.

[@DrivenPlus]

Thanks!

[@paulanthonyuk]

Which garage did the engine swap for you? I have a 3.6tdv8 on 135k and I'm expecting to embark on this anytime. My father had one exactly the same and blew the turbos. He had so much trouble finding someone who was willing and available to do the work he ended up scrapping the car.

[@DrivenPlus]

I had someone do a a job for me in my garage. But he has a garage in Wrexham

[@dannyrobbo]

Looks good. Hopefully it doesn’t leave you on the side of the road again.

[@robholland1937]

Change all fluids including both gearboxes.

[@noelcahill6707]

Blank your egrs there what takes the turbos

[@tonyc2837]

Thought it was just the 3.0 diesel that had the snappy crankshaft that were the problem engines.

[@dannyrobbo]

2.7s were the bad ones for that. All because a journal beating wasn’t tabbed and would shift if the oil pressure or quality was bad. Regular oil changes pretty much eliminate it as an issue though.

[@blairoutproject]

Poor servicing to blame. There are two oil drain plugs. The difficult one is often ignored . This is the one that serves the turbos . The sludge builds up in this area and gets continually sucked back into the turbos

[@DrivenPlus]

The car has been regularly serviced and tbf for the turbos to last to 172k is pretty good

[@dannycrooks8462]

Stil rather have that range rover than a brand new one they seem to drive better

[@DrivenPlus]

100%

[@davida7713]

Not really as brand new ones have warranty 🧐🧐🧐🧐

[@stuartrobb673]

My Range Rover lunched its whole engine after the bearing shells rotated on the crank and blocked all the oil ways at 100,000miles. I wouldn’t touch another one with a ten trillion foot barge pole, and nor would most insurance companies

[@tonywatson1412]

Luxury hen house

[@johnmaurer2035]

Heavy Dollar.😮

[@oneel2786]

Hey, I could help with rebuilding your engine, get in contact and i’ll be happy to get you back on the road in no times. Please reply to me and i’ll forward my details. Have done thousands of these land rovers.

[@andypicken7848]

You should have paid the 26K and you would have had a nice new engine

[@DrivenPlus]

🤣🤣

[@williamegler8771]

Who would invest £26,000 in a vehicle worth £6,000?

[@DrivenPlus]

Definitely not me!

[@farangtravels3956]

I'd rather buy a Skip than a Range Rover 😂😂

[@theyjustwantyourmoney4539]

The fact that it's a Range Rover is the problem, these are poorly built cars hence the unending problems, I hope the "new" engine won't develop the same or another problem. 🙏

[@DrivenPlus]

Thanks, so far so good. Mega cars when working

[@markloubser2433]

No sympathy for anyone buying these things. There is enough info/history out there.....

[@Ronick-Q-46]

3 cars I would never buy, Range Rover BMW and Audi.

[@gwidonpopielski2885]

Good decision. This way you won't be bankrupt pretending to be successful in a flashy car.

[@seldom_seen_kid]

What do you drive out of interest?

[@Podster133]

That's funny, I've had a 06 e46 320cd for 14 years and it's been absolutely brilliant. Agree will JLR. 👍👍

[@Podster133]

Agree with JLR. But, I've got a 06 e46 320cd, had it 14yrs and it's absolutely brilliant. 👍👍

[@andrewwaller5913]

Buy a Toyota.

[@DrivenPlus]

Bought 2, great cars just fancied a RR.

[@user-fx3yf3vu8n]

why do people still buy Landrover? They've been rubbish for decades

[@DrivenPlus]

Because my friend, they are awesome
