My bad,didnt read that properly.

Should have a reasonably good case would go to LR first, nice and politely, and see what happens.

Are you sure that's correct,for a crate engine, supply only, or is that fitted?

Even fitted,its borderline on worth doing.

There are posts here with that number. I’m sure it’s less now, but still.

Check that its not a failed cambelt tensioner / oil pump casing although maybe not a different outcome anyway.

Extremely unlikely on a ‘15

If you bought it from a dealer there should be statutory warranty. Make contact with them first. See what they have to say.

Three months.

Now this is the sort of horror story makes me feel I should be looking to get shot of my D4. One owner, nearly same age (Nov 2016) and approx. mileage as the OPs vehicle. Over serviced if anything. This really is the stuff nightmares are made of and all those fat back sided bureaucraps sitting in offices supposedly helping the consumer should be redeployed onto the dole.
If our experience of them in WA is anything to go by when we had probs. with our caravan, you'll get little in the way of support. The "officer" we dealt with from Consumer Affairs (or whatever they call themselves these days) actually told me he was "hesitant to approach Mr *** as he was an icon of the industry"!
Those who have the ear of the pollies get the most backing and that doesn't include any member of the public.

Definitely push the dealer but you may need to find a very good independent to assist.

Just hate seeing these posts and very sorry to hear.

It would be a good idea to get an Independent to see what HAS happened, maybe the last service oil filter change was stuffed up. Failing when sitting at lights 2K after a service is not when I would expect catastrophic failure to occur, I don't think it is the first to fail when not under stress though. All the best, Nick

Got someone looking at it next Friday, but trying to move the process on a bit quicker given Christmas is looming.

How could service / oil filter affect it, assuming genuine parts & sufficient oil ?
