Platform Overview Range Rover Sport L320: platform and variants
The Range Rover Sport L320 was produced from 2005 to 2013. It is the first generation of the Range Rover Sport line and carries the chassis designation L320. The vehicle is built on the Integrated Body Frame (IBF) platform, a separate-chassis architecture shared with the Land Rover Discovery 3 (L319). This platform is distinct from the monocoque L322 Range Rover. The IBF construction means suspension mounts, body mounts, drivetrain tunnels, and underbody components are architecturally related to the Discovery 3, not the full-size Range Rover.
Production ran across two distinct build periods. The pre-facelift range (2005 to 2009) used the 2.7 TDV6 (engine code 276DT) and the 4.2 litre Supercharged V8 (AJ33S) as its primary variants. The facelift range (2010 to 2013) introduced the 3.0 TDV6 (engine code 306DT) as the primary diesel replacement, along with the 5.0 V8 and 5.0 Supercharged (AJ133). The 3.6 TDV8 (engine code 368DT) and 4.4 V8 (AJ41) were offered across both periods.
This distinction matters when ordering parts. Service kits, oil filters, timing components, and engine-specific hardware are not interchangeable between the 276DT and 306DT. If you are unsure which engine your vehicle has, confirm using the engine code stamped on the block or by decoding your VIN before ordering.
Fitment Confirming fitment: pre-facelift vs facelift
The two main build periods share a chassis code but differ in engine, gearbox calibration, suspension electronics, and several bodywork components. When ordering parts, confirm which build period applies to your vehicle.
The simplest method is to check your VIN. The 10th character of your 17-digit VIN encodes the model year. This Land Rover VIN identification guide explains how to decode this character for your exact build year.
For engine parts specifically, the engine code is stamped on the block and is also recorded on the V5C or registration document. Matching the engine code to the correct parts listing is the most reliable way to confirm fitment before purchase.

Quality Grades Parts coverage and quality grades
This collection includes Genuine, OEM, and aftermarket parts for all L320 variants. Parts categories covered include engine components, air suspension, braking systems, drivetrain, transmission, electrical, cooling, steering, and service consumables.
Genuine parts are supplied through the official Land Rover distribution chain and carry original Land Rover part numbers. OEM parts are manufactured by the same suppliers that produce components for Land Rover directly, and are sold outside the official channel. Aftermarket parts are independently manufactured alternatives. Each product listing in this collection states its quality grade. For guidance on which grade suits your application, the quality-grade explanation on the Range Rover parts hub applies equally here.
Parts Categories Parts categories for the L320
The categories below represent the highest-demand repair and service areas for the Range Rover Sport L320 in the EU market. Each links to the relevant component collection. Use the filters on the destination page to narrow to L320 fitment.
Engine parts for the L320 cover rebuild kits and components for the 2.7 TDV6, 3.0 TDV6, and 3.6 TDV8 diesels, including crankshaft and main bearing kits for the 276DT, cylinder head bolts, EGR components, and oil separator kits. Engine parts are also available for the 4.2 SC, 4.4 V8, and 5.0 SC petrol variants.
Air suspension parts include compressors (covering both AMK and Hitachi fitments across pre-facelift and facelift builds), air springs, struts, valve blocks, height sensors, and relay components. The L320 uses a four-corner electronically controlled EAS system across all variants.
Braking parts include discs, pads, EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) kits, calipers, and brake lines. The EPB system fitted to the L320 uses cable-operated rear shoes driven by a chassis-mounted actuator, a layout shared with the Discovery 3 and Discovery 4.
Drivetrain parts include propshafts, driveshafts, transfer case components, differential parts, and driveline seals.
Service and consumable parts include oil filters, air filters, fuel filters, spark plugs (petrol variants), glow plugs (diesel variants), coolant hoses, and drain plugs.

L320 common problems and faults guide
A model-wide fault reference covering the L320 production run from 2005 to 2013. Covers the 2.7 TDV6 crankshaft and timing system, air suspension failure patterns, EPB faults, and electrical issues. Relevant before ordering engine rebuild, suspension, or braking parts for a vehicle with a known fault.
L320 common problems guide → L320 air suspension: what fails and when
A component-level breakdown of the L320 EAS system. Explains which parts fail first (compressor, air springs, valve block, height sensors), what symptoms each failure produces, and what to replace. Relevant before ordering air suspension components for an L320 showing height or compressor warnings.
L320 air suspension fault guide → 2.7 TDV6 timing belt replacement guide
A service guide for the 276DT timing system used in the pre-facelift L320 (2005 to 2009). Covers service intervals, the front belt and rear toothed belt configuration, and parts required. Relevant for any 2.7 TDV6 L320 approaching a timing service or showing symptoms of timing system wear.

Does this collection cover both the pre-facelift and facelift Range Rover Sport L320?
Yes. This collection includes parts for all L320 variants built from 2005 to 2013. That covers the pre-facelift build (2005 to 2009) with the 2.7 TDV6, 4.2 SC, and 4.4 V8 engines, and the facelift build (2010 to 2013) which introduced the 3.0 TDV6 and 5.0 V8 variants. Some parts are interchangeable across the full production run. Others, particularly engine-specific components and certain suspension electronics, are build-period specific. Always confirm your engine code and model year before ordering.
How do I identify which Range Rover Sport L320 I have?
Your 17-digit VIN is the most reliable method. The 10th character encodes the model year. The VIN is located on the door jamb plate, the windscreen base, and your vehicle registration document. Land Rover's official VIN identification guide explains how to read the model year digit. For engine identification, the engine code is stamped on the block and is also noted on your V5C or equivalent EU registration document. If you need help confirming fitment, contact Budget Parts directly before ordering.
Are parts for the 2.7 TDV6 and the 3.0 TDV6 interchangeable?
No. The 2.7 TDV6 (engine code 276DT) and the 3.0 TDV6 (engine code 306DT) are different engines with different blocks, different timing systems, different oil capacities, and different service part specifications. The 276DT uses a front timing belt with a separate rear toothed belt. The 306DT uses a mixed chain and belt timing system. Oil filters, service kits, and timing components are engine-specific. Always confirm your engine code before ordering these parts.
What platform is the Range Rover Sport L320 built on?
The L320 uses the Integrated Body Frame (IBF) platform, a separate-chassis architecture shared with the Land Rover Discovery 3 (L319). This is a different construction from the monocoque L322 Range Rover. The IBF platform means the L320 shares drivetrain, suspension mount geometry, and certain underbody components with the Discovery 3. This is relevant when ordering suspension, driveline, and chassis-related parts, some of which have cross-fitment with the Discovery 3.
What is the difference between Genuine, OEM, and Aftermarket parts for the L320?
Genuine parts carry the original Land Rover part number and are supplied through the official JLR distribution chain. OEM parts are made by the same manufacturers that supply Land Rover directly, sold outside the official channel. The component specification is often identical to Genuine. Aftermarket parts are independently manufactured alternatives. Each listing in this collection states its quality grade. For non-critical service parts and bodywork consumables, aftermarket is often appropriate. For engine internals, timing components, and safety-critical braking parts, Genuine or OEM is the recommended choice.
Does Budget Parts ship L320 parts across Europe?
Yes. Orders are fulfilled from the Netherlands and ship across the EU. Customers in Germany, Belgium, France, Sweden, and other EU member states order regularly. Shipping timelines and delivery options are shown at checkout. For large or trade orders, the Budget Parts wholesale portal provides account-based ordering and trade pricing.
