what he said. if its a serviceable part and its been serviced correctly with OEM parts then its their problem. they cant wriggle out of that one I'm afraid (assuming you didnt wade upto the bonnet and hydraulic the engine)

I had a TD5 engine go at 97,000 miles on a Disco 2 10 days out of warranty. Land Rover initially offered 50% eventually got them up to 75% plus dealer fitted new clutch at cost at same time. Bill would have been around £7.5K. Be polite but persistent with dealer.

Always be polite the person you deal with isn't responsible
For the engine giving out. But if it has ful Landrover history Insist on engine replacement at thief cost , make very complaint In writing, follow up every phone conversation with a letter Be calm but firm . If it has full landrover history , they will Cough up eventually. Normally they send engine back to the Person that assembled it to be rebuilt. Have fun be happy |

kevinz3,
same issue with a friend here in Brazil. Engine packed at just 35k Km.. Exact the same broken bits + the way it happened. LR covered it. So far they've replaced (over the same 110): Gearbox 2x Clutch + cover 2x master + slave clutch cylinders ABS/TC ECU Turbo Exhaust manifold EGR valve Vacuum pump Its a y2009 Puma. 236 days parcket at LR workshop due to the faults above and because they crashed the landie and also bent the wings during the engine swap at LR finest. We established the 300TDI as "the" Land Rover for our conditions. The Pumas and TD5s just can't take our dirty Diesel and humidity + constant wadings and lack of LR support over certain places. We had the 300TDI until 2006, with TD5 interior and dash. The later 300TDI engine was made in Brazil by International Harvester / MWM. Bit stronger, new turbo and Euro II, but a LOT noisier than the early 300TDIs. Take a look at LR's service and technical bulletins. There is a lot of trouble going on regarding early versions of the TDCI. Probably you could manage to replace yours at no cost, after some arguing. LR's technical reference site: topix.landrover.jlrext.com/ Land Rover Defender 110 SW 300tdi 2005 Suzuki Jimny 1.3 VVT 2010 www.cgauer.com.br www.vimeo.com/25710554 www.flickr.com/cgauer/sets |
