SupporterHi all,
It has finally happened, my MY13 155,000km 110 engine has broken, I suspect a holed piston as is is misfiring, front crankshaft oil seal is ejecting lots of oil and the crank case is being pressurized
Being a mechanic I know that the engine is terminal, I will push LR to repair or replace under Australian consumer Law as you should expect that a modern diesel engine should last more than 155,000 km.
The vehicle is due to be delivered on the back of a tilt tray to the dealer tomorrow, and i will have a chat with them, they know I am a mechanic and have had no issues in getting warranty work and good will work done with no issues.
Wife not happy...she suggested i should have bought a Hilux, Ranger and even a Jeep
Dozer if you are out there.....what was wrong with your engine when it failed and I recall that the dealer was quite good in assisting in getting the repairs done under good will, but I cant recall the details....

SubscriberYowsers that's no good mate! 2.4 or 2.2?
I'm a bit concerned - my 2.4 is about to tick over 145k atm
Hopefully LR come good.
Just show your wife this

MY13 so must be 2.2.Originally Posted by Colmoore
Hope all goes well with the dealer ozrob!!
ps - any 'symptoms' before it went?
Master
SupporterHi all, the motor is a 2.2, no symptoms at all before the loss of power.
I spoke to the dealer this morning and advised that LR Australia should consider repairing the engine as it only has 155,000Km on it and the engine is used in other commercial vehicles with no issues, the mechanic agreed with me, and they will have to diagnose the issue and then bring it up with LRA.
Wife still not happy.......as we also have a 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara with 315,000 km with no issues.

Trade the wife in and engine swap the landy? LS3 or cyote?

Mine is a 2013 2.2 110. Mine had the oil pump recall done as it fell in a particular vin number range. Did yours?
Master
SupporterYes mine had the oil pump recall done too last year.

When I read your post I'm thinking that no good poor bugger. I can understand the bit about your wife as well . I hope LRA come to the party and sort out our motor , or even better replace it . Please let us know how you get on , Good luck Jim .
