If it's good enough for JLR to do that in Korea that means it should be good enough for us.... doesn't it? Or are the ACCC (or whoever it is) not bothered as it doesn't affect them?
Probably won't do anything until someone who could affect their careers starts jumping up and down.
Only 48K on the clock of mine at the mo but as others have said they can have this problem at any stage so I'll be watching this thread with interest. BUT, I don't fancy my chances of anything being done after warranty runs out as I've never had it serviced by them.
At least that was the excuse they used when the aircon evap. leaked on the Defender.
Well done Kelvo.

A small number have failed at over 250,000km with snapped cranks. You’re right that at these mileages it’s getting to arguably serviceable lifeQuote:

Cheers
I agree. I hope to get 350-400,000km out of mine before I'll be ready to switch to the new Defender.Quote:

Still totally original except for belt change, oil pump housing and thermostat housing.
What to do with the EGR valves is my current thinking.
Oil changes at average of 9,350km.
Hoping for 400,000+++ as others have achieved
Fingers crossed [emoji1696]
Must get out from under my rock, never heard of this "problem" with the engine. Warranty runs out in May and can extend another 2 or 3 years I think but conditions put me off, have to use their service dept. etc. I will ask my go to at MR Auto of their opinion and make a decision re extending warranty.
At the moment no issues at all but any odd vibrations, ding ding, pull over (probably have the van on) ring Landrover assist etc. Thanks for the info.
Yeah I read the Korean one first …. a few months ago I think.Quote:

It is a problem with the Peugot 2.7hdi which is essentially the same motor.Quote:
