    [QUOTE=DazzaTD5;3175346]Yes I'd rather see the posters or admin delete the completely irrelevant posts, as in what people want to buy next is of no concern to any owner of YET another D4 with a failed engine. what happens is good options or relevant comments get lost in all the BS.

    I think it shows peoples disappointment at having to even consider getting rid of their Discovery rather than boasting about their proposed new vehicle or what they're getting instead. It's not a decision I've made lightly, I'm ****ing ****ed off that LR haven't fixed what seems to be a bad design fault and don't make replacement motors.
    And what are all over paid consumer affairs seat polishers doing about this? Sweet FA that's what, much the same as they do with much other stuff people pay lots of hard earned for and it stuffs up after a very short life.

    I'm going to throw my 2 bob in and suggest the petrol V8. I know they are thirstier, but at the different price in fuel at the moment its not noticeable. But they are reliable, plenty of power and dont stop.

    Not sure how many V8 petrols in D4 in Australia.

    JUst my 2 cents worth.

    Pretty useless info since the op has a 3.0ltr with a dead engine, he's not about to convert it to petrol .

    I cant believe a manufacturer would continue selling vehicles with a known engine design fault over numerous model runs,and many years,without doing something about it.

    Surprisingly,they have not ended up with some sort of class action against them.

    Just imagine if that was a another brand,such as a Ranger,Triton,Hi Lux,LC,Patrol, or whatever.
    The media would be full of complaints,and class actions would be flying around all over the place.

    And those on about other vehicles,a Prado cannot be compared to a D4,completely different vehicle,in a different class.
    The comparable new vehicles to a D4 are some of LR's crop of offerings,and the Y62,and L300.

    I guess that tells you something about the relevance of Land Rover these days, at least in this country.

    He might well sell for parts and get another Land Rover with a petrol motor.

    Cheers

    True,but it has been happening all over the world.

    It also shows how they treat their customers.

    Maybe there's a causal link in there.

    Seized engine in D4 - what are my steps from here?

    Thomas27488 (OP) - I’m wondering what you’re thinking of doing/have done after all this advice
