The Range Rover 11 K4F is a 4,999 cc, naturally aspirated V8 petrol engine produced between 2010 and 2016. It features dual overhead camshafts (DOHC), 32 valves, and variable camshaft timing (VCT) on both intake and exhaust banks. In standard form it delivered 375 kW (510 PS) and 625 Nm of torque, providing effortless high — end power for flagship SUV applications.
Fitted to the L322 Range Rover and early L405 models—including the Supercharged and Autobiography trims—the 1…
All production years 2010–2016 meet Euro 5 standards .
The Range Rover 11 K4F is a 4,999 cc V8 naturally aspirated petrol engine engineered for full-size luxury SUVs (2010–2016). It combines DOHC architecture with variable camshaft timing to deliver linear power and smooth refinement. Designed to meet Euro 5 emissions standards, it balances high performance with regulatory compliance.

The Range Rover 11 K4F was used across Land Rover's L322 and early L405 platforms with longitudinal mounting and shared with Jaguar for XF/XK applications. This engine received platform-specific adaptations—reinforced mounts in the L322 and revised cooling in the L405—and from 2013 the facelifted L405 retained the same engine but with updated timing components, creating partial interchange limits. Partnerships allowed Jaguar's 5.0L V8 to share core architecture. 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 11 K4F offers smooth, powerful performance but early models (2010–2012) had timing tensioner issues. Post-2013 revisions improved durability. With proper maintenance—especially oil changes every 16,000 km using correct 5W-30 spec—these engines can exceed 200,000 km reliably.
Top issues include timing chain tensioner wear, secondary air injection faults, oil sludge in the breather system, and catalytic converter degradation. These are documented in Land Rover service bulletins LTB00342(14) and LTB00289(13), particularly in vehicles with irregular servicing.
The 11 K4F powered the L322 Range Rover Supercharged (2010–2012) and early L405 Supercharged/Autobiography (2013–2016). It was also used in Jaguar XF/XK 5.0L Supercharged models. All are Euro 5 compliant and share the same core architecture.
Aftermarket ECU tuning is common on the 11-K4F 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.
Real-world consumption is ~14.5 L/100km (city) and ~9.8 L/100km (highway), or about 19 mpg UK combined. Expect 17–21 mpg (UK) on mixed roads. Fuel economy is heavily influenced by driving style due to the large displacement and weight.
Yes. The 11 K4F is an interference engine. If the timing chain jumps or tension is lost, pistons can contact valves, causing catastrophic damage. Prompt attention to timing rattle or fault codes is essential to prevent engine failure.
Land Rover specifies SAE 5W-30 oil meeting STJLR.03.5037 (or newer). Always use a high-quality synthetic designed for V8 petrol engines and change it every 16,000 km or annually to protect timing components and reduce sludge.
