Have you rang them??? I'm sure they will go into bat for you if they can in any way.
Every little bit helps.

G'day Andy, yeah, sure did. That was the big one plus I had several other things done, some of which was under warranty.

Then I had an A level service in Adelaide followed by a turbo gasket replacement.

Have a chat with them,they are well known to be AWESOME.
I'm sure they will help you out.
GOODLUCK.
Andrew

Any further news????
Wondering how you got on.
Thanks
Andrew

Same thing happened to my 2010 D4 at 75K km's - I had extended warranty but Alliance refused to pay up. LR Aus came to the rescue. The service guy showed me the bill Just under $19K

Hi all,

Well, here it is. Just picked up the Disco with a new motor.

2009 model D4 3.0 SDV6, 187,000ks, purchased as an Approved vehicle when it was 5 years old and tacked on a Land Rover backed Alliance extended warranty. You can do this when purchasing used from a dealer. All warranties ran out in October of 2016.

Land Rover Australia paid 75% of the total costs for the motor, accessories required, and labour. As I had to pay for 25%, it comes with a Land Rover backed 1 year, 20,000k warranty.

I’m certainly very grateful for LRA assistance. They did the right thing. Without them, I would’ve sold the Disco for scrap.

The team at Austral, now Brisbane City Land Rover, were fantastic and I cannot recommend them enough. If I lived in the area, I would happily take the Disco there (and having dealt with a new dealer further South, Brisbane City is the ONLY placed I’d take it).

Thank you LRA and Brisbane City LR.

Great to hear a good news story from LRA. Was it another bearing failure?

That's great to hear.
