How much does a Range Rover Sport SVR engine replacement cost-

A reconditioned or rebuilt Range Rover Sport SVR engine typically costs between £9,000 and £18,000 for the supply-only unit, depending on the level of rebuild and specialist documentation provided. - Rebuilt units include upgraded timing chains and metal tensioners to prevent recurrence. - Supply and fit packages are available through our premium specialist network.

What are the signs of timing chain failure in a Range Rover Sport SVR-

Early detection is critical to preventing catastrophic damage to your Range Rover Sport SVR engine. - Listen for a distinct rattling or ticking noise from the front of the engine, especially during a cold start. - Look for check engine lights, loss of power, or metal flakes in the oil filter during servicing.

Is it worth replacing the engine in a Range Rover Sport SVR-

Yes, given the strong retained values of the SVR, replacing the engine is a highly sound financial decision. - A typical 2015-2022 SVR is valued between £45,000 and £85,000+, making a £12,000-£18,000 rebuild a small percentage of the vehicle's worth. - A rebuilt engine with a 12-month warranty adds reliability and protects your premium performance asset.

How long does a Range Rover Sport SVR engine supply and fit take-

A straightforward supply and fit replacement for a Range Rover Sport SVR typically takes 4 to 6 days at a premium specialist workshop. - This allows time for the engine to be delivered, mounted, and thoroughly calibrated and tested. - Complex cases requiring additional cooling system or supercharger upgrades may take slightly longer.

Can I upgrade my Range Rover Sport to an SVR engine-

While both use the AJ133 architecture, a direct swap is not straightforward. - The SVR AJ133S requires different ECU mapping, supercharger calibration, exhaust system, and cooling upgrades to function correctly and pass MOT. - We strongly recommend sticking to a like-for-like AJ133S replacement to ensure guaranteed compatibility, reliability, and warranty coverage.

3 Simple Steps to Finding the Right Replacement Engine

Clear information first, then the right engine and specialist for your exact vehicle.

Variant History

Range Rover Sport SVR Engine History & Specs at a Glance

When the SVR (Special Vehicle Racing) badge was introduced to the Range Rover Sport lineup, it represented the pinnacle of JLR performance engineering, pairing a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 with enhanced dynamics and exclusive styling to create the fastest and most powerful Sport ever built.

2015
AJ133S (4999cc), 567hp, launched with the L494 Range Rover Sport SVR, featuring an uprated version of the AJ133 supercharged V8 with revised supercharger calibration and performance exhaust.
2018
Minor calibration updates and Carbon Edition special variant introduced, maintaining the same 567hp output with enhanced interior and exterior specifications.
2022
Final year of L494 SVR production, replaced by the L461 generation with different powertrain options (P530 BMW V8).

Every engine fitted to the Range Rover Sport SVR is covered below, with UK rebuilt pricing and known failure points.

Common failure points and repair options

Timing Chain Tensioner Failure

Affected: Range Rover Sport SVR (AJ133S, 2015-2022)
Typical failure mileage: 60,000-80,000 miles

Root cause

Plastic timing chain tensioners degrade and lose hydraulic pressure under the high-stress performance driving typical of SVR owners, allowing chain slack. If ignored, the chain can skip teeth on camshaft sprockets, causing valves to contact pistons - catastrophic engine failure requiring full replacement.

Repair options

Repair tier	Dealer price	Specialist price
Minor/Preventative	£3,500-£5,000	£2,500-£4,000
Full Replacement - rebuilt/reconditioned engine	£15,000-£20,000	£12,000-£18,000

Our recommendation

If your SVR has a full service history and the timing chain rattle is caught early, invest in the preventative chain replacement immediately - it will be the best £2,500-£4,000 you spend on this vehicle. However, if the engine has already jumped timing, developed a knock, or is burning significant oil (80k+ miles), a full reconditioned replacement with upgraded tensioners and oil control components is the only safe path. Do not risk a used AJ133S - many carry the same tensioner weakness.

Oil Consumption & Supercharger Seal Leaks

Affected: Range Rover Sport SVR (AJ133S, 2015-2022)
Typical failure mileage: 50,000-100,000 miles

Root cause

The AJ133S burns oil at a rate of up to 1 litre per 1,000 miles due to cylinder bore glazing and valve stem seal wear, exacerbated by the high-stress supercharged application. The supercharger nose seal can fail, allowing oil to leak onto belts. If oil levels are not meticulously maintained, spun rod bearings and bottom-end failure follow.

Repair options

Repair tier	Dealer price	Specialist price
Minor/Preventative	£500-£1,000	£250-£500
Full Replacement - rebuilt/reconditioned engine	£15,000-£20,000	£12,000-£18,000
