Description
xProduct Overview
The Genuine Land Rover Tensioner Blade (OE LR051013) is the timing chain tensioner blade, the lever the hydraulic timing chain tensioner pushes against to keep the timing chain correctly tensioned, for the AJ133 5.0L V8 and AJ126 3.0L V6 supercharged petrol engines. It is the updated blade specified in Land Rover’s timing chain service programme for these engines: worn blades and guides are the root cause of the well-known cold-start timing chain rattle on the 5.0 V8. Replacing the blade with this genuine updated component restores correct chain tension and protects the timing drive.
Part Numbers & Reference Codes
OE part number: LR051013 (Land Rover engineering reference FX23-6L266-AA). It is the later, updated tensioner blade for the AJ133 / AJ126 timing drive, specified from VIN DA696315 onwards in the factory catalogue and used as the service replacement in Land Rover’s timing chain bulletin. Two blades are fitted per engine, one per cylinder bank. Always order and verify by part number and VIN.
Vehicle Compatibility & Fitment
This blade fits the timing chain drive of the 5.0L V8 (AJ133) and 3.0L V6 supercharged (AJ126) petrol engines in the Range Rover (L405), Range Rover Sport (L494), and the earlier Range Rover (L322), Range Rover Sport (L320) and Discovery 4 (L319) 5.0 V8 models covered by the timing chain service bulletin. VIN splits apply, so confirm fitment with your VIN before ordering. See the Fitment Detail tab for the model guide.
Key Features & Benefits
- Updated genuine design: the revised blade specified by Land Rover’s timing chain service programme for the AJ133 V8.
- Correct chain tension: gives the hydraulic tensioner the right working surface, eliminating chain slack and cold-start rattle.
- Factory wear surface: the genuine blade’s chain contact face is made to the original material and profile specification.
- Protects the timing drive: a worn blade accelerates chain and guide wear and can lead to jumped timing and serious engine damage.

Technician’s Advisory: Timing work on the AJ133 / AJ126 engines requires the factory camshaft and crankshaft locking tools and must only be done by a technician experienced with these engines. Inspect the chains, guides, hydraulic tensioners and chain lubricating jets as a set and renew worn items together; two blades are required per engine, one per bank.

FAQs
xFrequently Asked Questions
Yes. The LR051013 is a genuine Land Rover OE timing chain tensioner blade — the updated lever specified in the factory parts catalogue and Land Rover’s timing chain service programme for the AJ133 5.0L V8 and AJ126 3.0L V6 engines. Two are fitted per engine, one on each cylinder bank, inside the timing cover.
It is a timing chain part. The blade sits inside the front timing cover, where the hydraulic timing chain tensioner pushes against it to keep the timing chain tensioned. It has no connection with the external accessory drive belt — but if you have a cold-start timing rattle, it may be the part you need.
The classic sign is a rattle or clicking from the front of the engine for a few seconds on a cold start, which can progress to a constant rattle as wear increases. Left alone, a worn blade lets the timing chain run slack, accelerating chain and guide wear and risking jumped timing, which can seriously damage the engine.
It fits the AJ133 5.0L V8 and AJ126 3.0L V6 supercharged petrol engines: Range Rover (L405), Range Rover Sport (L494), and the earlier Range Rover (L322), Range Rover Sport (L320) and Discovery 4 5.0 V8 models covered by the timing chain bulletin. VIN splits apply, so confirm with your VIN before ordering.
This brand-new genuine part is covered against manufacturing defects, and your statutory consumer rights apply in the UAE. If the part arrives damaged or is incorrect due to our error, we will replace or refund it. We recommend VIN verification before ordering — contact us first if you are unsure about fitment.
