This is crazy and needs bringing to the attention of the general public. I would contact as many news papers as poss and shout long and hard.
If this is a known issue with their engineering, it needs sorting.
Not exactly a 15k fiesta, these were/are sold as prestigious motor's and JLR can't just sweep it under the carpet.
Its not exactly a secret that those engines fail - a lot.
Some are well serviced and still fail, while others go on to do big miles to the point where the vehicle's body rusts out and value depreciates nearly to zero.
Have always had a land rover in the family since I was a lad; from Series, defenders, RR Classics to discos, but when it was time to upgrade from the old disco 2, the fact that not really knowing what leads to these failures and what I could do as an owner to prevent it made me go Japanese instead of the LR3 at the time.
Still have the now 21 year disco 2 for sentimental value, in addition to other modern vehicles to appease SWMBO and the kids, but don't think I would ever buy anything from the stables of JLR.
