Frequently Asked Questions
Our P300 engine rebuild costs £5,900–£6,400, including fitment, ECU reset, road test, and 12-month unlimited mileage warranty. This covers all components including the updated turbo actuator LR072310, and is performed at our Billericay workshop with OEM-spec parts.
Yes, with our specialized rebuild process. The X152 P450 can experience oil control issues under sustained high-RPM conditions, which we address with reinforced oil control systems. We've rebuilt over 95 F‑TYPE ZP Edition P450 engines since 2019, with specific attention to the supercharger belt tensioner wear and cooling system integrity that affects high-speed performance.
Piston ring wear under track conditions is the most common failure in P575 engines. Unlike standard driving patterns, track use creates extreme cylinder pressures that accelerate wear. We address this with performance-grade piston rings and valve train upgrades. Our rebuilds include specific metrology checks for cylinder bore wear patterns unique to X152 high-performance applications, ensuring longevity even with regular track use.
Yes, F‑TYPE ZP Edition models require specific ECU coding using JLR SDD tools. The X152 platform has unique immobilizer protocols and performance calibration requirements. At our Billericay workshop, we perform full ECU synchronization using genuine JLR diagnostic equipment, ensuring all systems including the supercharger management, throttle response, and performance driving modes function correctly after engine installation.
We address P300 turbo actuator issues by installing the updated genuine part LR072310, which resolves the common failure mode in X152 models. Our process includes comprehensive diagnostics using Autologic and JLR SDD tools to identify any related fault codes, followed by ECU recalibration per Technical Service Bulletin 2022-15. This ensures proper boost pressure management and prevents the "Check Engine Light with P0299" error that commonly affects F‑TYPE ZP Edition models with high mileage.
Absolutely. We specialize in track-driven F‑TYPE ZP Edition engines and have developed specific protocols for these high-stress applications. Our rebuild process includes enhanced metrology checks for cylinder wear patterns unique to track use, performance-grade piston rings, and valve train upgrades to withstand sustained high-RPM operation. We've successfully rebuilt over 40 track-prepped X152 engines since 2017, with our Billericay workshop equipped to handle the specialized requirements of performance-oriented F‑TYPE ZP Edition models.
