P400 (2017–Present) – The Performance Powerhouse
Performance & Driving Focus
The F‑PACE 400 SPORT was engineered for high-performance driving
We tailor rebuilds for:
Our Engine Specialties:
- Reinforced multi-layer steel head gaskets
- Updated turbo actuators LR072310
- Performance timing chain kits LR096682
- Enhanced cooling system components
- ECU recalibration for performance optimization
Rebuilt vs. Used Engines
Used engines often fail within months due to hidden stress damage. Our rebuilt units include:
Used Engine Risks
- Hidden high-performance stress damage in P400 engines
- Undisclosed track-day abuse in 'low mileage' units
- Turbocharger wear not visible in standard diagnostics
- Short-term fix with no performance validation
- £6,200 "bargain" that fails during high-speed driving
Our Rebuilt Engines
- Full disassembly and inspection of high-performance components
- OEM-spec performance components (Mahle, Elring, Jaguar)
- 12-month unlimited mileage warranty covering high-performance use
- No hidden diagnostics fees if you proceed
- Performance validation including high-speed testing
We recently diagnosed a £6,200 "bargain" used P400 engine that failed catastrophically during a high-speed motorway drive due to undetected turbocharger damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
From £7,500–£8,200 - including fitment, ECU reset, high-speed road test, and 12-month unlimited mileage warranty. Our pricing includes all OEM-spec components needed for a complete P400 rebuild, with no hidden costs. The price covers our full 5-step process at our Billericay workshop, including performance validation on our dyno.
Yes, when properly maintained. The P400 engine in the F‑PACE 400 SPORT is designed for performance but can develop head gasket issues and turbo actuator failures (LR072310) after 60,000 miles. We've rebuilt over 180 P400 engines since 2009, implementing reinforced components that address these common failure points. Our rebuilds include updated turbo actuators and multi-layer steel head gaskets that significantly improve reliability for high-performance use.
The F‑PACE 400 SPORT features unique performance tuning, upgraded suspension, and distinctive styling elements compared to standard F‑PACE models. Under the hood, it uses the same P400 engine platform but with specific calibration for higher performance. Our rebuilds account for these differences with F‑PACE 400 SPORT-specific ECU programming and component specifications. The L560 chassis code identifies all F‑PACE models, but we tailor our rebuild process specifically for the 400 SPORT's performance demands and component variations.
Yes, the F‑PACE 400 SPORT requires specific ECU coding that differs from standard F‑PACE models. We use JLR SDD and Autologic tools to perform complete immobilizer sync and adaptation specific to the 400 SPORT's performance calibration. This includes recalibrating throttle response, transmission mapping, and stability control systems to match the vehicle's original specifications. All coding is performed at our Billericay workshop as part of our standard rebuild process.
While we focus on OEM-spec rebuilds, we can incorporate certain performance upgrades during the rebuild process. For the F‑PACE 400 SPORT's P400 engine, this includes reinforced internal components that can handle moderate power increases. However, we recommend maintaining factory specifications to preserve the 12-month warranty. Our Billericay workshop has experience with performance-oriented rebuilds that balance reliability with enhanced driving dynamics, always using verified component upgrades that address the P400's specific weak points.
Many believe the P400 engine in the F‑PACE 400 SPORT is inherently unreliable, but this isn't accurate. The engine is robust when properly maintained, but specific components like the head gasket and turbo actuator (LR072310) can fail if not addressed proactively. At our Billericay workshop, we've found that implementing updated components during rebuilds significantly improves longevity. Our data shows rebuilt P400 engines in the F‑PACE 400 SPORT consistently achieve 100,000+ miles with proper maintenance, debunking the myth of inherent unreliability.
