Thread: 2016 Discovery 4 SDV6 - broken crankshaft?

Maybe but the one person I know of who has actually done it and not talked about it did it the way that was suggested. Started with an early L320 TDV8 into a D3.

Just to update everyone, because I know I get frustrated when I search for things and read the thread but it has no conclusion.

It has taken quite a bit of time in my opinion, but working with the dealer advocating for me with JLRA, I have achieved a very satisfactory outcome. As I mentioned before, everyone's circumstances are different and in my specific circumstances I felt I had a very reasonable and defendable position. I am not going to go into details, as I don't think that is overly useful or fair as each situation is different.

My advice to anyone that is in this situation follows on from much of the advice I was given. Know your circumstances (how was the vehicle used, age, service history, what was it doing at the time of failure), know the similar cases (YouTube), know your rights, and communicate effectively, firmly and with minimal emotion. I did NOT accept the first offer, and in fact escalated as a result of what I felt was an initially unreasonable and unfair offer.

In my view, JLRA has ended up doing the right thing.

Cheers everyone, I'll post a couple more updates as I get my repaired vehicle back. It is having a new, full long motor fitted.

Jason.

PS at this stage I will be keeping the car
