ERR7280 V8 Oil Pump & Timing Cover Gasket – Defender/Discovery/Range Rover

Keep your Rover V8 properly sealed and protected with this Engine Oil Pump & Timing Belt (Timing Cover) Gasket (Part No. ERR7280). This gasket seals the timing cover and oil pump assembly—an essential barrier preventing oil leaks at the front of the engine.

A worn or hardened gasket can lead to oil seepage, driveway spots, low oil pressure, and contamination of the serpentine or timing components. Replacing it during front-end service, timing work, or oil pump repair is highly recommended for long-term reliability.

Built to OEM specifications, this gasket fits all Rover 3.9L, 4.0L, and 4.6L V8 engines found across multiple models.

Fits:

• Discovery I 3.9 V8 (1994–1999)

• Discovery II V8 (1999–2004)

• Range Rover Classic 3.9 V8 (1987–1995)

• Range Rover P38 4.0 / 4.6 V8 (1995–2002)

• Defender V8 (All applicable years)

Install tip: Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect the oil pump gears and front cover for wear before reinstalling.*
