Crankshaft Rear Seal and Retainer - the rear main oil seal and its housing, part of the cylinder block and plugs assembly at the rear of the crankshaft.

The retainer bolts to the rear face of the cylinder block and carries the seal that runs on the crankshaft flange, closing off the point where the crankshaft exits the block. It prevents engine oil escaping past the rear main journal and holds the seal in correct alignment. Fitted to the 3.0L V6 diesel engine.

Frequently asked questions

What does the LR036542 crankshaft rear seal and retainer do?
The LR036542 is the crankshaft rear main oil seal and its retainer housing for the 3.0L V6 diesel engine. The retainer bolts to the rear of the cylinder block and carries the seal that runs on the crankshaft flange, preventing engine oil escaping where the crankshaft exits the block.
Which models does the LR036542 fit?
The LR036542 fits the 3.0L V6 diesel in the Discovery 4 and 5, Range Rover L405, Range Rover Sport L320 (2010-2013) and L494, and Range Rover Velar. Several applications have VIN breaks from AA000001, so confirm your chassis number and engine before ordering.
Should the LR036542 seal be renewed once removed?
Yes, renew the LR036542 whenever it's disturbed, as the crankshaft rear seal is typically single-use and a reused seal often weeps oil. Rear main seals usually fail through age-hardening and wear at the sealing lip, showing as an oil leak at the back of the engine. Fitting the retainer as a unit aids correct alignment.
