Market analysis

How much does a used Land Rover Defender intake manifold cost?

Asking prices for a used Land Rover Defender intake manifold are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 150% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $250.

Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 5.0L, LH, lists at a $100 median, while 3.0L commands $330, a 230% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.

Model year matters too: 2022 units carry the lowest median at $162, while 2020 tops the table at $300. Parts from 2010–2022 are interchangeable, so if the 2022 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 13 compatible years.

Buying a used intake manifold: what to check

  1. Inspect composite runners for heat cracks: Examine plastic manifolds for oil-softened walls, heat cracks, or snapped vacuum port nipples along the plenum.
  2. Verify variable runner flap operation: Move variable intake runner flap linkages and vacuum actuators by hand to ensure internal butterfly valves rotate freely.
  3. Check rubber gasket groove channels: Examine sealing channels around cylinder head intake ports to ensure plastic retaining walls are not chipped.
  4. Confirm sensor port and throttle flange fit: Match vacuum line nipples, manifold absolute pressure sensor mounts, and throttle body bolt dimensions.
  5. Install new molded rubber port gaskets: Replace all port seals and throttle body gaskets with fresh silicone seals to prevent lean engine vacuum leaks.
