With our updated thermostat housing LR096682 and turbo actuator upgrades, yes. We've rebuilt over 75 P250 XF 400 Sports since 2009 specifically for executive use cases at our Billericay workshop.
Turbo actuator failure (LR012345) is most common in P300 models. We replace with updated part LR012346 and perform full boost pressure validation at our Billericay workshop to JLR specifications.
Yes - we use Autologic and JLR SDD for full MHEV system integration at Unit A5 Windsor Road, Ramsden Heath. This includes battery management, regenerative braking, and start-stop calibration to factory specifications.
Both use the Ingenium AJ300P engine but with different power outputs. The P300 has upgraded turbo components and ECU mapping. We rebuild both with specific attention to their unique stress points at our dedicated Billericay facility.
Yes - the 2021+ models (X360) have updated MHEV systems requiring specialized diagnostics. We've developed specific protocols for these newer models at our Billericay facility, including updated timing chain tensioner procedures per JLR TSB G25-21-03.
