    PS just saw your response above - so you did not ring their complaints line - still lodge a complaint with documentation. Also your local consumer affairs organisation. Organisations easily fob off emails but are more responsive to being rung.

    Thanks for that information.
    Much appreciated having input from this site.

    Engine Failure RRS

    Hi all:
    Still working on LRA for a replacement engine,

    I am looking for a bit of help here for at least 3 names of others whom have had the same issue, i.e.: early engine failure of their 3.0lt engine.
    I am looking at going to LRA / JRA one more time with a list of information about their engine failures.
    There is so much on the internet about their failures that it is quite unnerving just how many there has been both here and overseas.

    If this last ditch effort with them fails I am looking at going to A Current Affair and or Australian Financial Review as I have connections with them.

    So if anyone would like to put their name up that would be of a great assistance.
    This for manly ACA as they like to have at least a few other people to interview.

    Thanks all:
    Glen

    Are you familiar with the lady who sued LRA and won in last few years over her brand new top of the wozza Range Rover? There was a fair bit of news coverage at the time might help you to reference. Was coolant loss problem but she stuck to her guns and had the capability to fight it all the way.

    I would be having a chat with LR especially of it has LR service history.
    Actually being an L320 it's well out of factory warranty so I assume you mean extended warranty ?

    Same issue on Range Rover Sport HSE 2010

    Hi,
    I’ve had the same issue as described by you and the SSM72928 document in a Range Rover Sport 2010 HSE with 260k km. Suddenly the noise come out, without any warning lights, no smoke. I was out of the city on rural area and keep driving at low speed about 20 km. The sound still the same. I get home and stop the engine. A small amount of black oil drops on the floor (about 100 ml). I call Ford dealer in town, they said to bring the vehicle to them. I check oil level, was at minimum, then I add some oil I’ve had (5w30 I believe, synthetic), about one litter, then I start the engine and drive about 5 km to the dealer. No warning lights at all, no smoke, no nothing, just noise. They said is a connecting rod problem by the sound. Let the car there and next day, said the crankshaft is bent. I have no clue how they determined the answer as they only unmount the bottom shield of the engine.
    It is obvious I should stop the vehicle instantly when I heard the noise, but the circumstances are what they are, so now I just check all issues over the Internet and found this page.
    Replace the engine cost at independent garage: starts at 15000€. Most of people just drop the car so it’s frustrating…I decide to repair it as I like it too much .
    By the way, I am located in Barcelona, Spain. An independent garage in Portugal, replaces the engine starting with 9000 € plus tow cost.
    Anyway, I believe it is a shame, Land Rover didn’t call all suspect cars to replace the defective designed crankshaft bearings, waiting till the engine simply dies. They made great cars but stupid service. I still wait quotes from Land Rover official service.
