When JLR won't give you a new engine - this is what to do. It certainly worked for this guy.

@Discomog,

Don’t get me wrong. They offered already a new engine but that’s not how it works here in AUS. They further admitted that the engine needs to be replaced. This constitutes a major failure in Oz which gives consumer absolute sole discretion to choose from 3 options. In my case a) new engine b) new car or c) all moneys back. And all moneys means ALL: deposit, lease payments, legal costs, export witness costs, insurance, registration costs etc ALL. It also means they need to pay out lease as the finance arrangement was done by the dealer it is regarded a linked credit contract. So we are already talking about large amounts of money. In this thread I earlier provided a link to a landmark case JLR lost which is still regarded as a precedent. She bought a Vogue for around 235k. JLR thought giving her the runaround would be smart and they lost paying more than 670k, so almost 3x. Good business acumen from them and great corporate governance. Defender 90 V8 MY23
