How many D4s do I see driving around every day? It’s a lottery, and you’re as likely to win first division as have your engine fail.

Actually ok, make that second division

That is terrible to hear mate. Given your vehicle has had full dealership service I would not give up on getting LR to come to the party. If your dealership doesn't want to have anything to do with it maybe contact LR directly. Others on here will have more knowledge on this but I would really try and get LR involved - this is a known issue and I would think since your vehicle has been dealer serviced it gives you a better chance.

Definitely, and lawyer up.

I wonder if a failure ever occured at a time that caused an accident or at worst a fatality if a recall would be mandated based on safety?

I don't think they'd ever do that unless forced, a couple of lawsuits is a lot less money than replacement cranks in all diesel D4s

And that's miles, not k's. Very impressive.

Should give all the 200 series owners some hope.

Its a petrol model,although there is a thread on another forum on high mileage 1 VD,and there are heaps up over 500K KM,never touched,many up in the 700K plus.A local guy i know here contracts for the council and he has two that are over the 500k mark,engines never touched,but clutches every 200K.Tows huge dual wheel trailers most of the time.

Its all about looking after them,servicing them properly,no matter the brand,although this crankshaft issue occurs even if servicing has been done properly,so its obviously an inherent design issue,or whatever.

The neglected vehicles,no matter what brand, are the ones that appear with issues,mostly.Or the heavily modded,tuned,chipped,etc.
