Frequently asked questions

What is the ERR5250 camshaft and what does it do?

It's the camshaft for the 4.0/4.6L V8 petrol engine's valvetrain. Mounted in the cylinder block and driven from the crankshaft, its lobes actuate the hydraulic tappets, pushrods and rocker arms to open the intake and exhaust valves in sequence, controlling engine breathing.

Which vehicles does this V8 camshaft fit?

This camshaft fits the 4.0/4.6L V8 petrol engine in the Land Rover Discovery 2 (1998-2004) and Range Rover P38 (1994-2001). It suits both 4.0L and 4.6L variants. Confirm your engine variant before ordering.

What causes a V8 camshaft to wear and need replacing?

Camshaft wear on this V8 typically shows as flattened or pitted lobes, causing rough running, misfires and loss of power. It's often driven by oil starvation or worn tappets. Replacing the tappets alongside the camshaft is usually recommended to protect the new part.

Is fitting a V8 camshaft a DIY job?

Fitting this V8 camshaft is typically a specialist job, not a driveway task. It needs the timing cover, valley gasket and lifters removed, then valve timing set correctly. Most owners have this done by a workshop given the depth of engine strip involved.
