Hello all. Just upgraded from a 57 RRS (great car) to a 2014 FFRR 3.0td vogue ( stunning car).

First question is replacement engine. The history shows a replacement engine and turbo in April 2018 with LR paying 70% of the 20k cost.

Is there a report showing what engine number modified or unaffected engines start at? Will a LR replacement be “modified” to prevent this from happening?

What percentage of original engines were affected by this failure?

Ok , i know more than 1 question.

Even in the Vogue spec ( 71k new with 5k of extras ) this is fantastic spec.

The failure seems to be somewhat random / cause unknown. So AFAIK, the replacement engine will be no different to the one that failed.

The failure rate seems to be low, but well publicised.

Thanks for the reply. That helps put my mind at rest. 18 months ago Land Rover paid £14000 towards the repair and the previous owner only had to pay £5500......bargain

And i now have an 80k milage car with a 20k engine and turbo

Not much of a bargain if the engine only failed due to a well known design fault  2021 D350 Fifty Edition
