Overview
If you own a Land Rover Discovery LR4, Range Rover (2013+), Range Rover Sport (2014+), or Jaguar with a 3.0L DOHC GDI supercharged V6 petrol engine, intake manifold gasket failure will eventually occur. Symptoms include vacuum leaks, rough idle, check engine light, and reduced fuel economy. This is a wear item—not a question of if, but when.
This intake manifold gasket kit offers a direct replacement for either the upper or lower gasket position. OEM-equivalent specification ensures proper sealing, thermal stability, and compatibility with your engine bay. Available in both upper (LR041680) and lower (LR041681) configurations, so you can repair one gasket or both simultaneously to prevent future issues.
Installation is straightforward for owners with basic mechanical skill; service can be completed in 1–2 hours with standard hand tools. This is a cost-effective preventive maintenance item that will eliminate vacuum leaks, restore smooth idle, and extend engine component life.

Installation & Service
Upper or Lower Intake Manifold Gasket Replacement
Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 1–2 hours | Tools Required: Standard socket set, torque wrench, gasket scraper, new fasteners
-
Disconnect battery and allow engine to cool completely. Remove battery negative terminal to prevent accidental starting.
-
Remove intake manifold cover (if equipped) and locate gasket position—upper sits between manifold and cylinder head; lower sits between manifold runners and cylinder block.
-
Unbolt manifold carefully. Use a socket set to remove all fastening bolts. Keep bolts organized by location; they may vary in length.
-
Clean gasket surfaces. Use a plastic gasket scraper to remove all old gasket material and carbon buildup. Do not gouge or scratch mating surfaces.
-
Install new gasket. Position gasket carefully onto clean surface. Ensure all bolt holes align and gasket sits flat without twisting.
-
Torque fasteners to specification. Reinstall bolts in sequence (typically center to edge, then outward). Torque wrench is essential—over-tightening can warp manifold.
-
Reconnect fuel rail, intake hoses, and electrical connectors. Double-check all connections before starting engine.
-
Start engine and listen for vacuum leaks. Rev to 2000 RPM and listen for hissing. Idle should be smooth and consistent.
-
Clear check engine light (if present) using OBD2 scanner or by disconnecting battery for 15 minutes.
⚠ Important: If you are not confident with gasket replacement, we strongly recommend professional installation. Improper gasket seating or torque sequencing can lead to vacuum leaks, misfires, and check engine codes. Victorious offers specialist installation guides—contact us at +44 203 943 9919 for detailed walk-throughs.
Why Choose This Gasket Kit
Vacuum leaks are the silent killer of 3.0L petrol performance. When intake manifold gaskets age and fail, they allow unmetered air into the combustion chamber, lean out the fuel mixture, and cause rough idle, hesitation, and increased emissions. This gasket directly prevents that issue by restoring a perfect seal between the manifold and cylinder head.
Unlike cheap aftermarket options, this kit is engineered to OEM specification. The material composition, thickness, and thermal rating match the original equipment exactly—meaning it will survive 100,000+ miles of supercharged V6 operation without degradation.
Installation is within the skill level of any owner with a socket set and basic mechanical confidence. Victorious includes detailed installation notes, and our specialist team is available via phone Monday–Friday if you have questions during service.
