Parts commonly needed for the Range Rover Sport (L320)
Parts commonly needed on the Range Rover Sport L320 include air suspension parts, front lower arms and anti-roll bar bushes, hub bearings, brake discs and pads, and electronic handbrake parts. Diesel owners buy EGR valves, intercooler hoses and turbochargers, and supercharged V8 owners look for cooling and supercharger-related parts. Replacement engines are often needed after V6 diesel bearing failures. Tell us the engine and VIN, since many parts are shared with the Discovery 3 and 4 but not all. When one front lower arm or anti-roll bar bush is worn, the other side is usually close behind, so many owners order both sides and a wheel alignment together to avoid paying for the same labour twice.
About the Range Rover Sport (L320)
The original Range Rover Sport shares its integrated body-frame, air suspension and much of its running gear with the Discovery 3 and Discovery 4, wrapped in a lower, sportier body. That relationship is useful for parts buyers, because many suspension, brake and diesel engine parts are shared or closely related. South African examples cover a wide spread of engines: TDV6 and later SDV6 V6 diesels, the 3.6 TDV8, and both naturally aspirated and supercharged V8 petrols. Local listings include a good number of supercharged versions, which means some owners face big-engine petrol repair bills that diesel parts guides do not cover. Common trouble spots mirror the Discovery: air suspension compressors and struts, front lower suspension arms, EGR valves and split intercooler hoses on the TDV6 and TDV8, and the electronic handbrake. Diesel V6 engines made before 2012 are also named, alongside the Discovery 3 and 4 and the Range Rover, in the crankshaft bearing concern that Jaguar Land Rover South Africa confirmed in 2015. Give us your VIN and exact engine when you enquire, because the V6 diesels, the TDV8 and the petrol V8s all use different engine parts.

Known Range Rover Sport (L320) problems
The faults owners and specialists report most often on this generation, and where to look for the parts involved.
Split intercooler hoses (TDV6 and TDV8)
The main intercooler hose on the 2.7 TDV6, and the top hoses on the 3.6 TDV8, split and cause loss of power and restricted performance.
EGR valve failure
Soot build-up in the EGR valves on the diesels causes black smoke, poor running and loss of power.
Electronic handbrake problems
Handbrakes that screech, fail to release or lock the rear wheels are a known L320 fault, sometimes needing a new actuator as well as shoes and drums.
Front lower arms, hubs and differential
Front lower suspension arms, hub bearings and the front differential all appear on specialist common-fault lists for the L320.
Pre-2012 V6 diesel crankshaft bearings
Jaguar Land Rover South Africa confirmed in 2015 that V6 diesels built before 2012 in models including the Range Rover Sport could suffer main bearing failure.
Keeping a Range Rover Sport (L320) running
The first Range Rover Sport shares much of its running gear with the Discovery 3 and 4, and its maintenance priorities are similar. Check the air suspension compressor, air struts and height sensors, and the front lower arms, anti-roll bar bushes and hub bearings. On the TDV6 and TDV8 diesels, split intercooler hoses and EGR valves cause loss of power. The electronic handbrake can screech or fail to release, and pre-2012 V6 diesels are affected by the crankshaft bearing concern reported in 2015.
Range Rover Sport (L320) questions
Does the Range Rover Sport L320 share parts with the Discovery 3 and 4?
Many suspension, brake and diesel engine parts are shared or closely related, because the L320 is built on the same integrated body-frame. Body panels, trim and some electrical parts are specific to the Range Rover Sport, so we confirm fitment from your VIN before quoting.
Why does my Range Rover Sport handbrake screech or not release?
Worn handbrake shoes or a faulty electronic handbrake actuator are the usual causes on the L320. Minor cases need new shoes and drums; if the rear wheels lock, the actuator and cables may need replacing and the system recalibrated.
