Land Rover, Range Rover And Jaguar Engine Reconditioning Specialists

Having your own engine reconditioned has several important advantages:

  1. Client maintains their original engine number so there is no need to contact DVLA to process administration changes on the vehicle logbook
  2. Modern vehicle engines have a large number of variations and specs, having your own engine avoids these compatibility issues
  3. Once the engine is stripped down and prepped for rebuilding, Royal Rebuilds experienced technicians diagnose the block, head and internals. This is a crucial part of the rebuild and in many occasions the cause of failure can be identified. Understanding the route cause can be very helpful for the client to minimise future risks.

Reconditioning Process Explained

Dismantling

Each engine is first stripped down to its bare components. Using specialist cleaning equipment (Kerosene bath and high temperature solvent washer) all engine components are degreased and thoroughly cleaned.

Machining

After disassembling the units they are then sent for machining where all engine block cylinders are professionally honed, All cylinder heads are pressure tested, skimmed, valve seats are cut and all valves are resurfaced.

Assembly

In assembly stage of the engine reconditioning process, brand new Eristic gaskets are used, ACL bearings are used for the mains and big ends and gas nitride piston rings are fitted to ensure quality parts are used throughout. Crankshaft journals are checked and measured to assess condition and then are polished or reground where necessary Also the engine is timed up with a brand new timing kit.

Quality Control

All throughout the assembly process strict quality control measures are enforced. All measurements are double checked to make sure the final product is reliable for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

1- Is it worth replacing an engine in an older car?

Replacing a tired engine can make an older car feel like new again. If the body and chassis are in good condition, fitting a reconditioned engine is usually cheaper than buying another vehicle, and it lets you keep driving a car you know and like.

2- Is it better to repair, rebuild or replace a damaged car engine?

The choice depends on the extent of the damage. Small issues such as leaking gaskets may only need repair. If there is serious internal wear or a major failure, a full rebuild or replacement is usually the better solution.

3- How much does an engine replacement cost in the UK?

The cost of replacing an engine varies widely. It depends on your vehicle’s make, the size and complexity of the engine and labour rates. For an accurate figure, enter your vehicle reg number to request a free quote at Royal Rebuilds.

4- What’s the difference between a used engine and a reconditioned engine?

A used engine is simply taken from another vehicle and installed as it is after testing. A reconditioned (or rebuilt) engine is disassembled, inspected and cleaned. Damaged parts are replaced with new or re-machined components, gaskets and bearings. The engine is then reassembled and tested to meet original specifications. This process makes reconditioned engines much more reliable and consistent than used engines, and they usually come with a warranty.

5- How long does it take to replace or rebuild an engine?

Royal Rebuilds can remove your existing unit, rebuild or replace it and refit everything within about five to seven days, depending on parts availability and workshop workload. Complex engines or unexpected issues may extend the timeframe slightly, but our specialists strive to minimise downtime so you are back on the road quickly.

6- What causes engines to fail prematurely?

Lack of maintenance is a major cause of early engine failure. Ignoring oil changes, using poor quality lubricants or allowing coolant levels to drop can lead to overheating and wear. Persistent overheating, unusual knocking noises or misfires are warning signs of deeper issues. Running an engine low on oil, using contaminated fuel, or ignoring small leaks can also cause major damage. Regular servicing, proper fluids and quick attention to warning signs keep an engine healthy.

7- Are reconditioned engines reliable for long term use?

When rebuilt by experienced technicians using high quality components, reconditioned engines deliver dependable service for many years.

8- What happens during a professional engine rebuild?

First, the engine is removed from the vehicle and completely taken apart. Each component is cleaned and inspected for wear or damage. Worn pistons, bearings, gaskets and seals are replaced, and the cylinder block and head are machined if needed. The engine is then carefully reassembled with new lubricants and filters and tested to ensure it meets factory specifications. Finally, the rebuilt engine is fitted back into the vehicle, filled with fresh oil and coolant and given a thorough check over to make sure everything runs smoothly.

9- Can a seized engine be fixed without full replacement?

A mildly seized engine caused by lack of oil or heat can sometimes be freed by replacing damaged components and cleaning internal parts. However, a serious seizure often damages the crankshaft, pistons or block. In these cases, a full rebuild or replacement is usually the safest option to restore reliability. Always consult with the Royal Rebuilds professionals who will inspect and determine whether repair is feasible or a replacement makes more sense.

10- Is it better to choose a reconditioned engine or a brand new engine?

Brand new engines offer fresh factory components but are the most expensive option. A reconditioned engine is built to near new standards, has worn parts replaced and is thoroughly tested. For many vehicles, the performance and reliability of a professionally rebuilt engine provide excellent value compared with the price of a new engine.

11- Does replacing an engine affect a car’s resale value?

Yes. Installing a new or reconditioned engine can protect and sometimes increase your car’s resale value. Buyers often see a fresh engine as a sign that the vehicle will be dependable for years.
