Frequently Asked Questions
From £5,600–£6,100 - including fitment, ECU reset, road test, and 12-month unlimited mileage warranty. Our pricing reflects the specialized work required for the S-TYPE Sport's D200 engine, including updated turbo actuator LR072310 installation and EGR system calibration at our Billericay workshop.
Yes, but it requires specific attention to the turbo actuator system. We've rebuilt over 125 S-TYPE Sport D300 engines since 2019, addressing the LR072310 actuator failures that commonly occur during spirited driving. Our solution includes the updated actuator, ECU recalibration per JLR SWE-22-07, and thorough cooling system validation at Unit A5 Windsor Road, Ramsden Heath, Billericay.
In the S-TYPE Sport, EGR cooler failures are accelerated by frequent sporty driving patterns that create thermal stress cycles. We replace failed coolers with remanufactured units and perform a complete system flush per JLR TSB X260-2019-04. Every S-TYPE Sport EGR system we service undergoes pressure testing to 2.5 bar - exceeding standard workshop procedures at our Billericay facility.
Yes - we use Autologic and JLR SDD tools for full ECU coding specific to the S-TYPE Sport's performance characteristics. This includes recalibration for the updated turbo actuator LR072310, throttle response tuning, and emissions system optimization. All coding is performed in-house at our Billericay workshop with post-coding validation on our dyno test bench.
Absolutely. The P250 timing chain tensioner (LR096682) is a known weak point in S-TYPE Sport models, especially those driven with sporty throttle inputs. We replace the tensioner with the updated kit LR096682, perform precise chain alignment measurements (<0.05mm tolerance), and conduct a 45-minute dyno validation test. Since 2017, we've successfully resolved timing chain issues in 95+ S-TYPE Sport P250 engines at our Billericay workshop.
For the S-TYPE Sport, we implement additional performance-focused checks: turbo actuator calibration specific to sporty driving patterns, reinforced EGR cooler installation, and ECU mapping optimized for spirited driving. Our metrology tolerances are tighter (<0.05mm) for critical components, and we conduct a 15-mile road test simulating performance driving conditions - all performed at our dedicated workshop in Billericay following JLR specifications for X260 chassis codes.
