Second hand engines are 4-5k.
Wife's cousin in Czech has had two in his disco 4 in the last year!
Last one he managed to find in Poland and was slightly cheaper at 3.5k but he had to collect it which probably added a couple of hundred to the cost.
They're expensive because they're in demand.
Sounds about right , has been known for JLR to contribute towards an engine , However there engines have started around £10-15k , worst bit is regardless how many times there are issues they won’t accept there’s a problem
Mixed reports of sometimes where engines have failed JLR will help, other times don’t want to know , seems it’s the dealer who decides
Ur right there, high price because of the demand
I often wonder if they go when people have them remapped ,there doesn’t seem to be 100% reason which ones fail, ie certain vin numbers or batch numbers
Engines known to have failed from 2004 all the way up into the discovery 5
Sorry to hear about the issues ur cousin had , really wish JLR could finally accept there’s an issue which I think would at least get more engines out there so price drops
There is now a brand new style of upgraded oil pump cover done by a separate company, which I think is an attempt to prevent cranks snapping
As a side note , some other country’s have accepted full responsibility
