Land Rover Discovery 5 Parts

Parts for the full-size Land Rover Discovery 5 (L462), produced from 2017 to present on the JLR D7u aluminium platform. Pre-facelift V6 and post-facelift inline-six engines covered, Genuine, OEM, and aftermarket in stock for same-day EU dispatch.

The Discovery 5 in context

The Discovery 5 is the current full-size Discovery, launched in 2017 under chassis code L462. It is the first Discovery built on a unibody aluminium architecture, the JLR D7u platform, the same body structure that underpins the Range Rover L405 and Range Rover Sport L494. This is a separate vehicle from the smaller, transverse-engined Discovery Sport (L550), which is a compact crossover on the JLR PTA platform. The two share no platform or major mechanical components and their parts are not interchangeable.

Every Discovery 5 carries permanent four-wheel drive with a Torsen centre differential, a two-speed transfer case with low range, and the 8-speed ZF 8HP automatic transmission. Terrain Response 2 is fitted across the range. Assembly began at Solihull in 2017 and transferred to Nitra, Slovakia during 2018.

Pre-facelift (2017 to 2020)

The launch engine range used the 3.0-litre AJD-V6 turbodiesel (TDV6 and SDV6 states of tune), the 2.0-litre Ingenium AJ200D four-cylinder turbodiesel (Sd4 and Td4), the 2.0-litre Ingenium AJ200 turbocharged petrol (Si4), and the 3.0-litre AJ126 supercharged V6 petrol.

Post-facelift (2021 model year onward)

The November 2020 facelift retired both V6 engines and the 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesels. The current range is the 3.0-litre Ingenium AJ20-D6 inline-six diesel MHEV and the 3.0-litre Ingenium AJ300 inline-six petrol MHEV. The 48-volt mild-hybrid system arrived with the facelift.

Engine, fuel, and emissions parts are engine-specific and do not cross the 2020 boundary. Drivetrain, brake, body, and many suspension components carry across both production phases. Where a part is restricted to one phase, the listing states the year range.

Identifying your Discovery 5

The Discovery 5 spans two production phases with different engine families on either side of the 2020 facelift, and assembly transferred from Solihull to Nitra during the 2017 to 2018 period, which affects build records on the earliest vehicles. Ordering by model year alone is not enough when engine, fuel, and emissions parts are involved.

Use the 17-digit VIN to confirm fitment. It is stamped on the windscreen base plate, on the driver-side door jamb sticker, and recorded on the V5C or local registration document. The 10th character of the VIN identifies the model year and tells you immediately whether the vehicle is pre-facelift (M, N, L, M for 2017 through 2020 model years) or post-facelift (2021 onward, model year code M and later).

For diesel engine parts in particular, confirming the engine code via VIN before ordering is essential: the pre-facelift 3.0-litre AJD-V6 and the post-facelift 3.0-litre AJ20-D6 share displacement and the "3.0 diesel" name but use entirely different blocks, fuel systems, and emissions hardware.

Parts categories for the Discovery 5

Discovery 5 stock covers air suspension components, brake hardware, cooling and heating for the V6 and inline-six engines, full engine and ancillary range across the AJD-V6, AJ20-D6, AJ200, AJ126, and AJ300, driveline parts including the rear axle and propshafts, and electrical and sensor service items.

Quality tiers for the L462

The Discovery 5 is still in active production, so Genuine and OEM supply for this generation is the deepest of any Discovery in the catalogue. The right tier depends on the system you are working on, not the price.

Genuine is appropriate for the air suspension, the active rear differential, the 8HP transmission, the MHEV 48V system, and emissions hardware on the AJD-V6 and AJ20-D6 diesels. These are systems where small specification differences cause warning codes or premature failure, and where the JLR part has the correct part number and calibration history.

OEM covers most of the practical service work. ZF supplies the 8HP transmission and the ZF Lifeguard 8 fluid is the correct service spec. Bosch supplies most diesel injection hardware including the high-pressure pumps on the V6 diesel. Brembo and TRW supply braking components. Mahle supplies cooling and engine ancillary parts. The OEM tier costs significantly less than Genuine for the same component.

Aftermarket is the right choice for wear items, brake discs and pads, filters, bushings, lighting, and body fasteners. Each listing names the supplier where the OEM identity is verified, so you can confirm the source before purchase.
