The Range Rover 20 T2R was used across Land Rover's L460 and L461 platforms with longitudinal mounting and no external licensing. This engine received platform-specific adaptations—revised engine mounts in the L461 Dynamic and enhanced cooling ducts in the L460 SE—and from Q2 2023 the updated camshaft and HPFP design was rolled out across all builds. 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 20 T2R offers smooth, refined performance but has known issues with HPFP-driven cam lobe wear in early builds (pre-2023). With strict adherence to oil changes (every 15,000 km), use of 98 RON fuel, and avoidance of short-trip driving, well-maintained examples can achieve high mileage reliably.
Top issues include HPFP cam lobe wear, GPF clogging, turbo wastegate actuator faults, and 48V MHEV system warnings. These are documented in Land Rover SIBs 04/2023/09 and 02/2023/09, and commonly appear in high-load or poorly maintained vehicles.
The 20 T2R powers the Range Rover L460 (2022–present) and Range Rover Sport L461 (2022–present) as the P400. It is exclusive to these models and not used by other manufacturers. All units meet Euro 6d-Final emissions standards.
Yes. The 20 T2R responds well to ECU remapping, typically gaining +30–60 kW on stock hardware. The inline-six architecture and forged internals support moderate increases. However, aggressive tuning without upgraded fueling, intercooling, or GPF management may reduce longevity and trigger emissions faults.
Real-world consumption is ~13.8 L/100km (city) and ~9.2 L/100km (highway), or about 20 mpg UK combined. Expect 18–22 mpg (UK) depending on driving style and terrain. Premium 98 RON fuel is mandatory for optimal performance and knock prevention.
Yes. The 20 T2R is an interference engine. If the timing chain fails or jumps, pistons can collide with open valves, causing severe internal damage. Regular inspection of chain tensioners and guides is essential to prevent catastrophic failure.
Land Rover specifies SAE 5W-30 synthetic oil meeting STJLR.03.5006. This formulation ensures proper lubrication of the turbocharger, timing components, and MHEV system. Oil should be changed every 15,000 km or annually, whichever comes first.
