Discovery Sport Replacement Engines
The Discovery Sport (L550, 2015 onwards) launched with the 2.2 diesel and quickly moved to JLR's 2.0 Ingenium diesels. Timing-chain wear and oil dilution are the faults owners bring us most — both addressed directly in our rebuilds. Every engine is fully tested with a 12-month / 12,000-mile parts-and-labour warranty.

Common Discovery Sport Engine Failures
Ingenium timing chain stretch
A rattle at cold start usually means chain and tensioner wear — the best-known Ingenium fault. Left alone, a jumped chain can destroy the engine.
Read the Ingenium guide →Oil dilution
School-run and short-journey use dilutes the oil with fuel, accelerating wear.
Read the Ingenium guide →2.2 diesel turbo/DPF faults
The earlier 224DT can suffer turbo and DPF issues showing as limp mode.
