Many thanks. The system will not yet let me reply by PM but when I return from abroad in mid March I will check them out.

I use a LR trained indy in my village which should not be too far away from you.

I have no complaints at all. He replaced my alternator and services my ffrr and my partner's FL2. He uses genuine LR parts unless asked otherwise.

He is a small garage, but friendly and helpful with a good reputation. Mark at VehicleCraft, MK45 4RP. He has a website, but not sure if I am allowed to link to it, so I won't.

David, thanks.

OK, found them. Will investigate when I return from abroad. Hopefully nothing will need doing on the beast (unless something breaks!) before the next service at the end of the year.

Only just caught up with this thread. Almost a year to the day my 45000 mile Sport did exactly the same and after a fuve month battle with LR to get an engine and a contribution I eventuLly got one with 85% contribution from LR. Had car a day and backed it with a strange rattle which was eventually diagnosed as the torque converter not done up during heRt transplant. Cause of failure was turbo exploding and pumping 7 lts of oil into exhaust. Turbo was less than 10k miles old TDV8 Vogue SE 2009.
TDV8 Sport. Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!
Other toys in the cupboard.......

I thought I would add to this topic rather than start a new one. My TDV8 (09MY) had exactly the same issue (loss of power, smoke, engine would not start). It was relayed to the garage and they said that both turbos had gone. In one the seals had failed, which drained the oil, causing the other one to seize. New intercooler required as well. Fortunately the engine was OK. Bill just shy of 5K. The car has done 118k miles (Vogue SE). I asked what I might have done wrong, and was given the usual "always do your services at a main dealer". I had the Inspection 1 done at a dealer in August. Mechanic said that the turbos should last several hundred thousand miles and could not explain why the seals had gone. Slightly frustrating.

Any other ideas as to why this might have happened?

Good reason to have a decent warranty....

@ gary elliott

a friend is just buying a v8 petrol. The warrant y it comes with only covers £450!!

Who do you use for warranties?

thx
DB

We use the best available WARRANTYWISE plan depending on age and mileage.

On cars under 5 years old this means Platinum Plus and cover for literally "everything" even including failure due to wear and tear after 30 days and with individual claims up to £5000 and a total equal to the value of the car. And importantly they payout.

I can offer discounts on quotes you may get online between 15-20% depending on plan & term saving up to £750 on three year fully inclusive £200 per hour 5.0 plans.

Thanks, I am having similar issues with my 2015 4.4 at the moment and thought the problem may be the same, but as you say 3.6, I'm not sure now. thanks anyway.
