Split intercooler hoses on the 3.6 TDV8
The two hoses from the top of the intercooler into the engine split, losing boost and causing black smoke and restricted performance. Replace both, as the second usually follows.

Have this ready when you enquire
- The 17-character VIN from your licence document, which identifies your exact L322 (sold here 2002–2012) and its build.
- The engine code or number, because this model was sold with the V8 petrol, Supercharged V8 petrol and TDV8 turbodiesel (3.6 and 4.4).
- A photo of the old part or its part number, if you can get to it.
| Engine | Code / family | Fuel |
|---|---|---|

Known Range Rover (L322) engine parts faults
TDV8 EGR cooler and turbo wear
Internal EGR cooler cracking lets coolant into the intake path, giving white smoke and coolant loss, while worn turbochargers show as oil in the intercooler hoses.
Parts commonly needed for the Range Rover (L322)
L322 owners most often buy air suspension parts (compressors, air struts, valve blocks, height sensors), gearbox parts and reconditioned gearboxes, and TDV8 intake parts such as intercooler hoses, EGR coolers and turbos. Replacement engines and gearboxes are often considered because repair costs can exceed the vehicle's value.
Replacing the whole unit? A complete unit may cost less than rebuilding one on an older Range Rover (L322). See engines for sale , cylinder heads for sale or turbochargers for sale .

Range Rover (L322) engine parts questions
How do I know which engine my Land Rover has?
Start with the VIN on your licence disc and in the windscreen corner. The vehicle's registration papers, the service book and the engine number stamped on the block also identify it. Model names alone are not enough: a Discovery 4, for example, came with different diesel and petrol engines, and a Defender could have a 300Tdi, Td5 or Puma diesel depending on its year. Send the VIN with your quote request so the part can be matched to the engine code.
Should I repair my Land Rover engine or replace it with a complete unit?
It depends on what failed. A leaking gasket, a worn timing kit or a faulty injector is a repair job. Bottom-end damage, such as a spun bearing or a broken crankshaft on a V6 diesel, often makes a complete replacement engine more practical than a rebuild, because the block, crank and turbo may all need attention. Get a proper diagnosis first, then compare the cost of a rebuild kit plus machining against a complete engine.
