    In terms of new motors LR $19k Ford 24k. Sad face. Gotta laugh though. Has anyone had any good will out out of Landrover re this sort of failure?


    Triumph Rover Spares in south oz you can get a brand new TDV6 2.7 crate long engine complete for $1195 or $9900 bare . Google the above and check their specials .

    Have a read of this Disco3 thread and skip to page 26 if you are a bit short on time to read the whole thing.

    It seems that some people have got some partial relief from LR towards repairs depending on the exact circumstances. Don't know about Australia.

    Cheers,

    Too good thanks guys. I have started with Landrover (we'll see where that goes) and Triumph Spares is looking good. I will provide up-dates as I go along.

    Update.
    Well the up-shot was that the timing belt failure had caused catastrophic engine damage. So I sourced an MY10 motor with 45k kms from Triumph Rover Spares. Gotta say both my mechanic and I got excellent service, advice and support from these guys. Vehicle is 99% back together. Just needs covers etc back on. I am giving it a run this weekend. Great so far. I just have to decide which kidney I will be selling now. ;-)

    All going well so far. Although I have to check that the engine isn't one that was subject to the HPFP recall.
