That might be the "Sale Of Goods Act" where stuff has to last for a minimum of 5 years in order to be considered to be of "merchantable quality"?

Sorry to hear your tale of woe. However, have to add, stop worrying about 'what could have happened'. It didn't, you are safe, no- one was hurt, your vehicle was not hit, etc, etc, etc. It may sound harsh, but it is better you look at the positive, than worry about negatives that didn't happen.
It is a bit like crossing the street, tripping over the kerb, then worrying about being knocked down by a bus that might pass, at some time .................................
Good luck getting your vehicle fixed.

Hiya
It’s a discovery 4 landmark, they didn’t put a SDV6 in the sport
As a side note discovery 5 came out 2017 , they also have the SDV6 and been known to fail
ps, @gold rover , just re checked my facts and edited my reply above

Not quite and that's where people get confused.
"You have up to six years to take a claim to the small claims court for faulty goods in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and five years in Scotland.
This doesn't mean that a product has to last six years - just that you have this length of time in which to make a claim if a retailer refuses to repair or replace a faulty product"
Basically , there are different time periods for each bit. They have a 'warranty' in law for two years. You have up to 6 (5) years to submit the claim, from breakdown of communications. Not that goods have to work for 6(5) years.

It's ok. If it's anything like Range Rovers, trim can be added to , or bits removed.
20-inch split-spoke alloy wheels
black-painted bumper vents
mirror caps and grille
full-length, silver roof rails and Landmark badges on the bodywork.
As a further bonus, the Landmark exclusively debuts a new copper-coloured paint called Zanzibar. The model’s also available in four other, more subtle, shades, including our test car’s classy-looking Waitomo Grey. Inside, there are softer leather seats than you’ll find in any other Discovery, and various colour and trim options, too, including black lacquer veneer or grained-walnut finishing.

Soooooo....... a 21st century, Chelsea Tractor
I see quite a lot of those around here. Spoke to a BA pilot the other day, 'quote I bought it for it's looks, and in case it snows, but I'm lucky if I drive once a month, and I'm not sure I'd drive in the snow. I don't know how to drive in those conditions." I continued to nod and smile, nod and smile

oh dear , if only they knew how capable they were , maybe the snow setting inside the cabin may be a clue of what to select , lol
don’t think it has adaptive cruise , which I think would be handy on the motorway , nothing like being lazy , lol

Yes, indeed. But the "Merchantable Quality" and "Fit for Purpose" requirements should be good grounds for a claim of breach.Not quite and that's where people get confused.

You have up to six years to take a claim to the small claims court for faulty goods in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and five years in Scotland.
This doesn't mean that a product has to last six years - just that you have this length of time in which to make a claim if a retailer refuses to repair or replace a faulty product

Discovery 3 SDV6 landmark.
I’ve just heard from the garage, LR have asked for some oil samples, don’t know why because my garage have always dealt with the oil.
Apparently they have found some metal chards, and was told at this stage they don’t want to confirm or mislead me but will get back to me next week
hiya
sorry to hear of ur troubles , there testing the oil to see if it’s the right grade and condition
A 2016 will be a discovery 4
fingers crossed for u that JLR will sort it out , there’s also suppose to be a program on tonight BBC1 , watchdog ref issues with this engine

...and as an even further bonus JLR have added big-end shells that slip out of place and starve the bearing of oil.....allegedly.
