Hi
Paid by Debit Card. Will certainly pick up the issue with the Seller who is a Landrover Dealer as soon as I know the actual problem.

Sadly Dealer has confirmed that engine seized and will need a new engine. My issue though is that surely this is a manufacturing defect. How do you manufacture an engine to seize at 67000 miles? No prior warning from in built in protective signals. Both oil level and water level ok at the time of the incident . Vehicle ran out of warranty in October 2017 but my view is that warranty or no warranty manufacturer must take some responsibility because of the recurring nature of such problems on their products.

bloody hell , there are many reports ref this on the D3/D4 sport forums

plus 1 what @freelance has said , suppose at the end of the day it’s either throw it back at them and get ur money back or they pay for a new engine

some have been lucky from some dealers where they’ve paid for everything others haven’t

land rover are aware if this, crankshaft shells slip and block off the oil ways

they did offer u a warrenty though didn’t they when u bought it, was it days / weeks u got the landy plse

hope u get ok and plse let us know,

The previous post by OP has been edited but he did say his warranty ran out last October. Not sure if by that he meant manufacturer warranty or by 'just got' meant a few months.

I know what you mean, which is why I wasn't sure what he meant either.

not wishing to sound rude to the op, but i wouldn’t have bought such an expensive car without one , inc a full tank and new 12 x month mot as a min

as u would indeed do ur homework before hand , reviews, search forums etc and seeing if there were any known issues

I would've thought so too but the 'just got' and 'ran out in Oct' are a little bit confusing. Might be manufacturer's ran out in Oct, but he's only recently acquired it with a seller warranty. Guess only way we'll know when he comes back.

P.s I'd be asking for road tax too but I'm a hard to satisfy kinda gal
