Hi Guys,
Looking for a bit of advice if possible please
I have 63 plate Range Rover Sport HSE that i purchased last June. It went into Marshall's Land Rover Lincoln the day after boxing day for a full service, they rang me the following day to say the car was ready. I collected it, drove 12 miles and broke down. Marshall's recovered it, examined the engine and then told me it needed a new engine which has cost me £12,300. Upon examination of the old engine they found metal particals in the oil filter due to crankshaft failure leading to bearing failures and seizure. Land Rover will not cover the cost because I bought the car Via Synter Aution Group for main dealers. I am now thinking can I try to regain some costs from Marshall's themselves as they did the service? As this is a known fault with this engine wouldn't there have been signs during the service that would indicate this problem? and dont they have a list of all engine numbers that may / have been affected?
Any advice / info would be greatly appreciated !! Thank you xx
