I'm told crankshaft and total engine failure and $50k for a new engine. We have 4 kids and now have to go buy another 7-seater immediately in order to get by. Anyone have any suggestions on the approach to take with LR? I'm just astonished they can be allowed to do this.
Suggest you quote the Service Bulletin numbers (as well as the failures here in Aus and o/seas including recalls in other countries etc) to your LR dealer and ask them on your behalf to make a pro rata claim to LRA.
Mention that you want this to happen and get a response from Land Rover Aus prior to you bringing in your lawyers and ACCC........
