Just spoken to my husband who said they told him the engine was running but the auto dial in the middle would move but nothing would
That would make more sense.

And have we confirmed the battery is good?
To me it sounds too fishy, and it really needs to go to somewhere that actually knows how a modern vehicle works, rather than trying to fleece vehicle owners.
Nailed it. @Scotmum - can't you pay for "what they have done" (*) by CC, then get your car to an expert indy, and then raise a dispute with the CC company ?
Ah, in the good old days you would trace the smoke.....and/or burning smell. I thought the whole point with modern cars is that the diagnostics would spot anything and everything. Anyway, lets see what info surfaces on this one - exactly what did the techs tell JLR...? "It won't start" "OK, try changing the transmission and see if that fixes it"...
it's strange that if the OP had asked on here the first thing we would have said was how good is the battery. LR garage start with how about a new transmission
When my Disco 2 wouldn't rev at all my local indi man nipped round with his testbook and said faulty TPS, after 20 minutes of running the engine testing things it fixed itself after the battery had sufficiently charged up.
Techs or fitters aren't mechanics or engineers, they don't know how to diagnose a problem, just how to use testbook etc+1 - Check Powers and Grounds EVERY single time.. Comes back to getting someone who knows what they are doing involved..
I reckon a lot of modern sh*tbox tronic "cars" get scrapped because the "garage" CBA to do the job properly.. - How green
... just how to use testbook etc

So LR have offered 40% goodwill claim but this still requires almost £4500 from me. For what is clearly a defective transmission- if that’s the route they are going down to say it needs replacing. Coincidentally (perhaps) this was the first estimate we got from the garage over the phone. When they put in the goodwill claim it inflated to £7.5k…..I am rather alarmed that they are not taking full responsibility for a catastrophic failure of the transmission, i mean the car is not fit for purpose and a lack of warranty does not mean I have no consumer rights. Who expects to spend this much on a car that doesnt last more than 40k miles. Also questioning if all the faults have really been checked on the car before jumping to conclusion of full replacement and the cost changing from £4.5k to £7.5k (interesting JLR are contributing that exact amount of increase)….Hello Scotmum, i have just read all these posts and i do feel for you.
If you haven't already done so I would suggest you contact the dealer principal in both of the dealers.
Glad i am not in your shoes and all of us on here wish you well in your problem.
Bit of information to some of the posters.
Taggarts Landrover are a long established LR and Jaguar dealer in the West of Scotland and have been for many years.
Pentland Landrover are also a long established dealer in the East of Scotland..
Both companies have many years of landrover experience.
Just to clarify that Scotmum is not dealing with local cowboys.
Although who knows nowadays.
Thank you.
Thanks. Interestingly the quote LR are giving is not for a new transmission nor does it come with any guarantee!!

I'd cut my losses and step out of this 'dealer scam' pronto,
life is too short.
Gets better. Whilst JLR made their decision to contribute their "generous" 40% goodwill gesture (which would leave me out of pocket of £4500 for their mechanical fault), I was told they had been looking at my social media (I had made a few comments about how disappointed I was in my car) and to pause it until they made their decision. Kinda creepy to know they have been monitoring me.WHAT !!?!?!?!? Good to know that JLR are still treating their customers the same way they did us several years ago.. NOT.
+1 - absolutely as soon as humanly possible.. Regarding the FFRR I have mentioned previously, it cost us a significant sum to get away from the POS, but, frankly it was money well spent - though it still smarts more than a bit .
And some folk wonder why I want an older car than the 25 year old one I have now...
