Market analysis
How much does a used Land Rover Defender throttle body cost?
Asking prices for a used Land Rover Defender throttle body 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.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 5.0L, lists at a $77 median, while 3.0L commands $186, a 142% 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 $130, while 2020 tops the table at $186. Parts from 2013–2022 are interchangeable, so if the 2022 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 10 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Land Rover Defender sits 22% above the Mercedes S Class ($120), 46% above the Mercedes GLE Class ($100), and 60% above the Mercedes E Class ($91) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used throttle body: what to check
- Inspect bore and butterfly blade for carbon: Check the throttle plate for heavy carbon varnish or sticky shaft movement that causes rough engine idle.
- Verify electric actuator plug pins: Check electronic throttle actuator plug pins for corrosion, bent spades, or cracked plastic connector shrouds.
- Check butterfly shaft play and spring return: Wiggle the throttle shaft to check for worn bronze bushings or weak return springs on cable-operated units.
- Confirm vacuum nipples and coolant heating tubes: Check metal vacuum nipples and coolant heating passage tubes for corrosion, clogging, or breakage.
- Perform idle relearn procedure after install: Run an electronic throttle position calibration scan tool routine to clear high-idle fault codes.
