I had NO IDEA it could be this bad - a £150k car that’s worthless after a few years and no miles.
It should be classed as ‘of unmerchantable quality’ - someone needs to start a legal case (I ... |

Thank you everyone, this has been SO helpful. At least now I have all the options and know what I need to plan - I was a bit lost.
Given a noon runner is so worthless, I think it's worth a 10k gamb ... |

Have you thought about cutting out the breaker and looking for a complete write off then recovering what you can selling the bits you don’t need?
No, a good shout, though, thanks. |

| Thanks so much GraemeS. I'm a bit out of my depth. What would you do, in my position? |

| Thanks for your advice. Right now, I'm leaning towards a breaker if they can supply an engine number and history. Somehow it feels less risky than a badly reconditioned one. Dunno what I'd get as a no ... |

Wow. I had no idea these issues were so common! I really thought the engine was bulletproof - I've always been concerned about suspension. Little did I know.
I also don't know the extent of the dam ... |

Yeah, I wouldn't want the V6, it's underpowered. I guess I was thinking more of the V8 supercharged petrol but I guess that's tons of work given it's a diesel.
Sounds like I have to decide between ... |

| So sorry to hear that, No, it's 2017, so out of warranty. I love it and have looked after it well - did a 3 stage paint correction myself. If you can't get a reliable engine though, maybe I'm better o ... |

The reason being, if they sell one as approved used and it suffers an engine failure within the warranty period, JLR have to buy back at the sale price as they can't repair them.
That being said, J ... |

Oh dear.... that doesn't bode well. Surely there is at least one good company? I found turner engineering but they don't do this engine.
Would a breaker be preferable then (to a recon, that may not ... |
