At Legacy Overland, we're dedicated to breathing new life into classic vehicles through practical expertise and innovative solutions. Our recent project focused on restoring a 2011 Range Rover Sport Supercharged, with a central task of replacing the engine due to a critical issue.

Assessment and Discovery

Our journey began with a thorough assessment of the vehicle's condition. Upon inspecting the engine, we uncovered a significant problem: fuel starvation had severely damaged the cylinder walls, leading to a critical breach. This discovery left no choice but to replace the entire engine.

Engine Dissection

We carefully disassembled the engine, methodically examining each component to pinpoint the cause of the fuel starvation issue. With precision, we navigated through the wiring, fuel lines, and cooling systems, documenting our findings as we progressed. The damaged cylinder reinforced the need for a complete engine replacement.

Replacement Engine Preparation

As we prepared the replacement engine for installation, our focus was on ensuring its optimal functionality. Every component underwent thorough servicing, and a new head gasket was installed to prevent future fuel-related issues.

Seamless Integration

The replacement engine was carefully installed into the Range Rover Sport's engine bay, with special attention to aligning and reconnecting electrical, fuel, and cooling components for seamless integration. Alongside the engine swap, we replaced the starter to ensure reliable ignition, enhancing the performance and reliability of the refurbished engine.

Rigorous Testing and Assurance

Before returning the vehicle to its owner, we conducted rigorous testing to ensure its performance and reliability. Every system was scrutinized for leaks or irregularities, with necessary adjustments made for optimal performance.

The engine swap for the 2011 Range Rover Sport Supercharged showcases Legacy Overland's commitment to practical solutions and problem-solving. From diagnosing the issue to seamlessly integrating a new powerplant, our focus remains on restoring vehicles to their former glory, ready to take on new adventures.
