The Land Rover 406PN Petrol is a 3,993 cc V8 gasoline engine developed for high-performance luxury SUV applications (2021–2025). It combines twin-turbocharged direct injection with 48V mild-hybrid technology and variable valve timing to deliver responsive performance and improved emissions control. Engineered to meet Euro 6d standards, it balances track-capable power with on-road refinement.

The Land Rover 406PN Petrol was used exclusively in Land Rover's Range Rover and Range Rover Sport SV models with longitudinal mounting and bespoke performance calibration. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-tuned intake manifolds in the Sport SV and revised cooling routing in the Range Rover SV-and from 2023 the facelifted Range Rover L460 models adopted updated ECU calibrations for improved throttle response, creating interchange limits. No licensing partnerships exist for this high-performance variant. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
Field reports and technical service bulletins highlight component wear patterns under high-load operation. Adherence to manufacturer service intervals and approved fluid specifications is critical for long-term reliability.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The 406PN Petrol is generally reliable when maintained properly, though early models (2021–2022) had higher rates of HPFP failure. Later revisions improved pump durability and ECU mapping. Regular oil changes with LR032278-specified 5W-30 and use of premium fuel greatly enhance longevity. Well-maintained units can exceed 150,000 km without major repairs.
Key issues include high-pressure fuel pump failure, turbo wastegate actuator sticking, intake valve carbon buildup, and mild hybrid system faults. These are documented in Land Rover service bulletin RT/TC/21/08. Direct injection and turbocharging contribute to these wear patterns, especially under aggressive or urban driving conditions.
The 406PN Petrol was used in the Land Rover Range Rover SV (2022–2025) and Range Rover Sport SVR (2021–2025). It is a high-performance variant exclusive to SV models and not available in standard trims. All models feature longitudinal engine layouts with all-wheel drive configurations.
Aftermarket ECU tuning is common on the 406PN platform, but increasing boost or altering engine parameters accelerates component wear, impacts emissions compliance, and may void vehicle warranties. Any modifications should be evaluated carefully by a qualified specialist.
In the Range Rover SV, combined consumption is approximately 15.8 L/100km (18 mpg UK). City driving may see 18.2 L/100km (15 mpg), while highway runs can achieve 13.4 L/100km (21 mpg). Real-world efficiency depends on driving style, with aggressive use reducing economy significantly due to turbo demand.
Yes. The 406PN Petrol is an interference engine. If the timing chain fails or skips, pistons can contact open valves, resulting in bent valves or piston damage. Chain maintenance is essential—any abnormal noise from the front cover should prompt immediate inspection.
Land Rover specifies LR032278 (5W-30) synthetic oil, meeting API SN/CF and ACEA A1/B1 standards. Oil must be changed every 12,000 km or annually to protect the turbocharger and prevent carbon buildup. Using non-compliant oil may void warranty and accelerate wear in high-temperature areas.
