Every Discovery Sport owner loves the mix of rough-road talent and family comfort this Land Rover gives. Yet even a tough 2.0 TD4 diesel or lively 2.0 petrol engine will wear if the mileage is high or the maintenance schedule is avoided. When that day arrives, Royal Rebuilds is here. We stock and build reconditioned Land Rover Discovery Sport engines and supply carefully tested used engines with low mileage. Whether you need a full engine, a bare engine or a complete engine rebuild, we can deliver anywhere in the UK or install the unit in our own workshop. Our team works on all Ingenium and Ford-derived blocks, from the compact Rover 2.0L twin-turbo 204DTA diesel to the efficient 2.0L 204DTD diesel that powers many Discovery Sport models.
Our service is simple: you tell us your engine code, we supply the perfect engine for your Land Rover, and we can even collect your old engine if you choose our fitting service. No hidden costs, no confusing jargon—just a straight solution that gets you back on the road quickly.

We aim to provide our customers 100% customer satisfaction by offering them an unlimited mileage warranty lasting for one year that covers all our work that we have carried out on your vehicle as part of our engine reconditioning process. This provides peace of mind to the customers and encourages them to come back again. Our policy is to use OEM parts only, which ensures our engine runs smoothly for a long time. This is part of the reason we can provide such a comprehensive warranty.
We give you a chance to gain huge savings when you decide to get the engine rebuild from us. This option gives you a brilliant opportunity to save almost 50% of the amount that you would otherwise pay for a brand-new engine. Our festive sales can add even more to the savings, up to 10%.
How Reliable is are Land Rover Discovery Sport?
Unfortunately, when it comes to reliability, the Land Rover Discovery is not the vehicle you should look up to. According to a survey by What Car in 2020, Land Rover came last out of 31 manufacturers. All the technology is well and good, but having more technology means there are more chances for things to go wrong. Every vehicle, no matter how reliable it is, requires constant maintenance, and if you are required to visit the garage too often, then you might need to get the engine replaced.
Looking for a Land Rover Discovery Sport engine for sale, reconditioned or used?
At Royal Rebuilds, we keep used and reconditioned engines in stock so you don’t have to wait. A reconditioned Land Rover engine goes through a full strip-down, hot wash, machining and rebuild with genuine Land Rover or OEM parts. A used engine is taken from a low mileage Land Rover Discovery donor car, compression-tested, inspected and made ready to bolt in. Whichever option you pick—reconditioned or used—you receive a unit that fits straight in, runs smoothly and meets factory tolerances. Diesel and petrol engines are available, and every engine supplied can be delivered across the UK or fitted at our site for peace of mind.
Which engine code fits your Land Rover Discovery Sport engine replacement? How to identify it?
Land Rover prints the engine code on a small plate at the front right of the block and on the VIN sticker in the driver’s door. Typical Discovery Sport codes include engine 204dtd for the 2.0 diesel and 204DTA for the later twin-turbo diesel. Checking the code guarantees you receive the exact replacement Land Rover Discovery Sport engine, complete with the correct sensors and ancillaries, so the ECU recognises it without re-programming.
Here is a quick overview of the engines available in the Land Rover Discovery Sport.
2.0 Diesel Ingenium Engine
Available in the S trim, this 2-litre engine produces 246 hp with 365 Nm of torque. Its automatic 9 gears transmission provides 10.68 kmpl, which is great for a vehicle this size.
2.0 Petrol Ingenium Engine
Available in the R-Dynamic SE trim, this petrol engine produces 245 bhp with 365 Nm of torque. It has the capability of giving 22mpg fuel average and is as quick as the diesel version.
Is a reconditioned Land Rover Discovery Sport engine better than a used engine?
A quality used engine offers the quickest fix at the lowest cost. If it comes from a low-mileage Land Rover Discovery Sport L550 2.0 donor and has a strong service history, it can run for many more years. A reconditioned engine costs more in labour but arrives almost like a brand new engine specs: cylinder bores honed or re-lined, crankshaft ground, new bearings, pistons, rings, gaskets and oil pump. For owners who keep their Land Rover car long-term, reconditioning a quality Land Rover Discovery Sport brings factory-fresh efficiency, lower fuel use and reduced emissions. Either way, every engine leaves our workshop pressure-tested and ready to start.
What engine sizes are available for the Land Rover Discovery Sport engines you can buy from us?
Most Discovery Sport models use the 2.0L Ingenium diesel or petrol, but we also carry:
- 2.0 TD4 / SD4 diesel engines – popular for their torque and economy.
- 2.0 L petrol Ingenium (P200, P250) – including the twin-turbo 2.0 L 204DTA for extra punch.
- 2.2 SD4 diesel engines - fitted to early Discovery Sport models.
- 2.0 L petrol hybrid blocks – newer units that share architecture with pure petrol engines.
Because we rebuild in-house, we can also create bespoke long-block or short-block combinations where needed. We have engines for all Land Rover models.
