How can a brand import and sell a car in Australia and not have a spare engine in the country?

65K Seems excessive as these guys,...BMW M57 Defender Conversions – Drive-In, Drive-Out
– KINGPIN Fab a Puma to M57 for $42 500 utilising a used engine but doing a lot of ancillary work as well.

In the UK but with fully reconditioned M57 into Puma £ 30 000...

I can't actually find a new M57 engine online, used seem to be 3 to 4 grand, and reconditioned 6 to 7 grand.

I'm starting to wonder if they fitted a new engine, be a tenth of the price to fit a reco or rebuild it.

You guys should jump over to the Grenadier forum, the thread on the Cape York disaster I’d hilarious, a heap of blinkers on fanatics supporting and making a heap of excuses for Ineos
I have watched all of the videos from the trip and the ones detailing the breakdown
The fact Ineos and nobody is stating what actually failed is disgraceful, if it was my vehicle I would be demanding to know the details of the failure and certainly not just accepting the “environmental “ excuse
