There has been instances of the V6’s failing, with either spun main bearings or snapped cranks, although it does seem as common as some of the internet stories would have you believe. Still an unwelcome shock though!

If you have any hard evidence that they put incorrect oil in during a service - that’s where i’d be pushing.......... |

My sympathy to you, very disappointing at that age/mileage.

Probably not what you want to hear but if it was me I'd jump at the 40% contribution.

With 48k on the clock and full service history I'd be telling LR to get it sorted and pay a minimum 60% on the parts and provide the labour free.

I'll say it again as no-one else has - go after the dealer for a contribution if they put the wrong oil in.

Speaking from personal experiences over 45 years of LR vehicles and several engine replacements both in and out of warranty you will be extremely unlikely to get more than a 40% contribution given the vehicles age, mileage and lack of warranty. I have been there several times and so have a few friends and family members.
