    This is a known fault covered by Service Bulletins SSM71816 and SSM72928.
    Is an assembly issue and they modified the design in early 2012.
    Am told you cannot rebuild these engines.
    Mine had less than 100,000klms on the clock and had been fully serviced with the last swrvice having been done less than 4000klms ago.
    Not down on oil and absolutely no warning given.
    I will be interested to see what JRA have to say about it.
    At least one other on here reported a failure on a 2015 or 16 D4.

    SSM71816

    Mine wrecked the engine doing just what the SSM says. Its a 2013 Discovery 4 and was covered by the SSM. Land Rover have been keeping this quiet and understating the occurrences. The engines are rubbish.
    JLR were not interested in helping even though the SSM says contact them for the enhanced customer service process - Yeah right

    So the engines are rubbish because yours failed ?
    How many have failed ? What's the service history of your vehicle ? How long have you owned it ? How many Km ?

    I heard about these problems a while back and was concerned because I run a Territory diesel.
    Haven't seen any mention on the Ford forum (but I haven't visited for a while).

    Great engine that seems to have had a problem with a certain batch and/or poor servicing causing problems. How Land Rover handle the engine failures is the issue.

    Crankshaft/Bearing failure

    Land Rover will not assume that every crank/bearing failure is as per the TSB and as such will not replace any engines out of warranty. To get Land Rover to replace an engine would be a very long and costly exercise.

    My MY15 3.0 Lt spun a bearing in March at 140,000 k's.

    The Land Rover quote of $38,000 is not an option, nor is a second hand engine at $15,000 and $5,000 labor from an independent. A rebuilt engine with a billet crank is on it's way from the UK.

    Not wanting to put a damper on this decision but do a search on DISCO3.CO.UK - Index on what the "experts" think of these aftermarket crankshafts.

    What else can I do? I've only owned the car for 24,000 k's and and don't plan on selling it. As i mentioned a Brand new engine is not an option and I won't have a second hand engine. My reason being if I wrote my car off 1 hour before the bearing spun, a wrecker would have bought the wreck and sold the supposed "good" engine for $15,000 only for it to "blow" in an hour after fitting and wreckers will only warrant the engine not the labor.

    I appreciate what you're saying but a billet crank is what I want.

    Thats not actually correct,a few on here have had their engines replaced out of warranty.

    Most were one owners with full service history.

    Ah! Ok, I stand corrected, thank you.

    The three that I know of are second owners, me included.

    Sorry for misleading anyone.

    Don't get me wrong, I still love my Disco and have no intention of selling it. I know that for every one that has problems there are far more that don't.

    Yes understand - just ensuring you are aware of the issues involved which clearly you are.

    You might want to follow these recent threads where the OP is in a similar position.
