Frequently Asked Questions
From £4,200-£4,800 including all parts, labor, ECU reset, road test, and our 12-month unlimited mileage warranty. This covers the complete rebuild of the AJD22 engine with OEM-spec components at our Billericay workshop.
With proper maintenance, yes. We've rebuilt over 85 X-TYPE 2.2 Diesel engines since 2009 with a 98% success rate. Key to reliability is addressing the common head gasket and turbo actuator (LR072310) issues during rebuild, along with regular EGR system maintenance.
Head gasket failure is most common, typically occurring between 120,000-150,000 miles. This is often due to the engine's design and the stresses of daily stop-start driving. Our rebuilds include a reinforced head gasket and precision cylinder head machining to prevent recurrence.
Yes - we use Autologic and JLR SDD tools to perform complete ECU coding and adaptation for all rebuilt engines. This includes resetting adaptation values, programming new component IDs, and ensuring all systems communicate properly with our Billericay workshop's specialized equipment.
Absolutely - timing belt system failure can cause catastrophic engine damage. Our rebuilds include the complete timing belt kit with reinforced tensioner (critical for the AJD22 engine), water pump replacement, and precision alignment to JLR specifications at our dedicated Billericay facility.
Yes - 2001-2004 models used the initial AJD22 engine with different turbo actuator design (LR072310), while 2005-2009 models had updated components. We tailor our rebuilds to each model year, using the appropriate parts and following JLR service bulletin SWE-18-07 for optimal performance.
