Our Recommendation
Our Recommendation
If your Velar P380 is exhibiting early signs of supercharger rattle or minor coolant seepage, a preventative specialist service is a cost-effective solution. However, if the engine has suffered severe overheating or internal damage, a full reconditioned replacement is the most reliable long-term investment to preserve the vehicle's performance and value.

Range Rover Velar P380 Engine ReplacementFrequently Asked Questions

A full reconditioned or rebuilt Range Rover Velar P380 engine typically costs between £4,500 and £9,500 for the unit itself, depending on the level of rebuild.
- Used units can be found from £2,500, but carry higher risk for a complex supercharged V6.
- Supply and fit labour will add approximately £780-£1,040 depending on the specialist.
Question 2What are the signs of supercharger failure in a Range Rover Velar P380-
Early detection is critical to preventing catastrophic damage to your AJ126 engine.
- Listen for a distinct rattling or whining noise from the supercharger nose at idle or on deceleration.
- Look for unexplained oil consumption or oil leaks contaminating the accessory drive belts.
Question 3Is it worth replacing the engine in a Range Rover Velar P380-

- For vehicles valued over £18,000, a warranted reconditioned engine protects your investment far better than a cheap used unit.

The P380 uses a 3.0-litre supercharged V6 (AJ126) producing 380 PS, offering classic supercharged throttle response.

Question 5How long does a Range Rover Velar P380 engine replacement take-
A straightforward supply and fit of a reconditioned AJ126 engine typically takes 3 to 5 days at a specialist workshop.
