Frequently Asked Questions
From £5,600 - £6,100, including fitment, ECU reset, road test, and 12-month unlimited mileage warranty. This covers common D200 issues like EGR cooler leaks and turbo actuator problems at our workshop in Billericay.
Yes, when properly maintained. The D300 is powerful but requires attention to timing chains and EGR systems under spirited driving. We've rebuilt over 140 D300 engines snce 2009, focusing on these areas for long-term reliability.
Mechanically, the engines are identical across Velar trims. The S trim focuses on sportier suspension tuning and aerodynamic bodywork. Our rebuilds are the same for D200, D300, P250, etc., regardless of trim level.
Yes, we use Autologic and JLR SDD to perform full ECU resets, immobiliser sync, and map updates for the MHEV system as required. This ensures optimal performance and compatibility with the new engine.
Absolutely. Our rebuilt engines for P250 and D300 variants are fully compatible with the 48V MHEV system. We ensure all related sensors and components are correctly calibrated during installation.
Yes, we source genuine Land Rover parts (like LR072310 turbo actuators, LR096682 EGR coolers) and premium aftermarket equivalents (Mahle, Elring) to ensure long-term availability and reliability for your Velar S.
