If you had it from new, speak with lr customer service, also your dealer. If you purchased s/h, I’m surprised you don’t have a longer warranty.
Plenty of calm conversations, and polite emails you need to have for 2-3 weeks

If it's been serviced to the book try trading standards. From what I heard a while ago the guarantee guide lines take into account how long you would reasonably expect something to last.
Thank you. I live in a remote part of Scotland so not able to get it serviced. LR in Inverness saying upto 2 months to even look at it.
The website says an engine should last 200,000 miles so barely done much over 10% of that.
I don’t know if it has a trade-in value in this condition? Or how much a replacement engine would cost?

Son's work colleague has just been quoted £20K for his Disco 5 with a snapped crank.
I don't know what a Discovery 7 is?

Don't know what the service intervals are but if it's not up to date I reckon you're screwed.

Maybe they are just preemting the inevitable
Thank you all for your help.
Found a helpful company called scrapcarcomparison.com who have been very helpful.
But rather sad that a 58k car needs to be scrapped after just 24,000 miles - a very bad reflection on landrover.
Needless to say that i will not be ever buying another landrover!!!!!!! (mercedes GLB looks a better option)

You haven't said if it's ever been serviced? or what the recall was for? It's not fair to blame them if it's been neglected.
