Land Rover Engine Database — Every Engine Explained

Q: How many Land Rover engines are covered in this database?

We currently list over 30 engines that have appeared in our 2025 UK enquiry data. This includes classic diesels (200TDi, 300TDi, TD5), V6/V8 diesels (TDV6, SDV6, TDV8, SDV8), the Ingenium family, and various petrol V8s and four‑cylinder units.

Q: Are these engines listed by model or by engine code?

They are listed by engine code (e.g. 306DT, 204DTD), which is the most precise way to identify a Land Rover engine. Each engine page also shows all models and years it was fitted to, so you can cross‑reference by vehicle.

This database lists every Land Rover and Range Rover engine that has appeared in our 2025 UK enquiry data, with a link to a dedicated Knowledge Centre for each one.

Each engine name links to its dedicated Knowledge Centre, where you'll find fitment details, known failure patterns, real cost data, and an honest reliability verdict based on our 2025 UK enquiry data.

What the Data Shows

Our 2025 enquiry data reveals which engines generate the most interest, and why.

The Engine Failure Index 2026 shows the 204DTD as the most-enquired engine in our dataset, followed closely by the 306DT and the 276DT. High enquiry volumes don't always mean high failure rates — they often reflect vehicle population size and age. For a full breakdown by engine, see our failure rate by engine page.

We also publish average mileage at failure, average replacement costs, and a decision split showing how many owners repair vs scrap. All figures are tagged with their source — [EM-VERIFIED], [EM-QUOTE], or [PATTERN DATA] — so you can trust the numbers.
