2.0?
Shame about that but sounds positive you are getting it reimbursed.
Did they give you a lead time?

Hi, what warranty company was that out of interest please?
I am still with LR named warranty. Had the crankshaft pulley and belt go a couple of weeks ago. All paid for by the warranty as was the car hire for four days. It would have cost me £900 for the parts and labour and just over £400 for the car hire.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s good it’s not costing me anything bar just over £1k per year for the warranty, but it’s the pure nuisance value of it.

I have 3.0l. Hopefully all will be well and the engine will last longer that the bodywork. I was initially told 3 days for delivery of the engine, once authorised by Landrover, however it has taken “much longer than we expected “

I purchased the car from a Subaru dealer and it came with the Subaru warranty which includes AA plus cover up to 5k of warranty work, courtesy car , although I was offered a corsa, when my car broke down at 7pm, so it wasn’t too bad. The AA were with me within 50 mins and a recovery lorry about 30 mins later, they dropped the car and myself off at home, only 10mins from where I broke down, they then came back the following morning and uplifted the car and dropped it off at the dealership. I can’t complain they were very good and informative.

Goodness you have done well to get the 3.0 under a warranty. If it was a JLR warranty, they would’ve potentially declined it

Hope they were honest with you , as it wont be a new engine but a recon unit . JLR do not have any new engines for the 3litre as the stock has been used up as the failure is so common . . Another word of warning make sure that the 24months warranty on the recon one is applicable to you as if JLR replace them under goodwill you dont have any warranty on them .

Got to agree. As LR named warranty paid for my new engine and there’s a VAT invoice, I got a two year warranty on it so even if I cancel the warranty now, it’s covered, which I wouldn’t do tbh.

Eventually got my car back last week, a brand new engine fitted by Landrover Edinburgh, 90% paid by Landrover and the other 10% paid by my warranty company. The final bill was just a shade under 20k, I also got a 2 year warranty on the engine.
Just not sure if i should now keep it, it only has 28k on the clock and a brand new engine?

Well you’ve got 2 years cover for any significant engine failure.
If you like the car keep it, that’s the way id think of it anyway.

Has there been any reports of second engine failure? Have they actually sorted out what causes the failure, or is it a design issue, that can't be resolved.

They have never sorted that failure issue and the engines are outof production now they have been failing for the last ten years at least . JLR just cough up when one goes as long as its been dealer serviced.

Another Failure
Well another Engine Failure to add to the collection, 69 Plate Disco with 19500 on the clock, 2LT Diesel Inginium Engine. Just over 3 years old and thank god I took out an JLR extended warranty as I knew this day would come.
Thankfully event happened at low speed on a generally quiet road, but occurred with no warnings other than the total loss of power and a yellow engine light, gear selector retracted and pressure lost in brake pedal. So car is now in the garage, initial health report showing 2 of the cylinders have failed giving the loss of power.
Is this what others have experienced with their failures? I’m struggling to get JLR to understand the severity of this, especially as now the car is out of manufacturers warranty, they won’t give me a loan car, I’m having to wait for the claim to be put to the Extended Warranty to get a loan car sent to me. I no longer want this car, or anything to do with JLR, this is the last in a long list of failures.
Rant Over…!

Personally I would keep quiet about ditchng JLR till your claim is dealt with as most likely you may have to rely on goodwill from them . As certainly if it was a 3 litre with broken crank the warranty would not cover it and I assume they may use the same get out on a 2litre.

Hi new to the JLR experience. Beginning to feel like I've entered a time portal and gone back to the 70s! I didn't realise engines blew up anymore. From what I've been reading it would seem the LR extended warranty is a no-brainer. Mine is the SD 3.0 and it's coming up to 3 years old and 28k. Do you think the warranty would cover a new engine and hire car if needed?
