Friday 30th December whilst in France without notice the RR stopped, lost all power, electrics, shuddered to a halt in 50yds - just like the engine had been whipped out from under the bonnet, luckily just come off the motorway otherwise might not be typing this!!

Just heard today that a master fuse has blown and the crankshaft is broken, having the RR repatriated to the UK for repair. Fortunately RR under warranty has full service history with 92000 miles on the clock.

Has this happened to anyone else, could it be a fault for a high mileage RR.

Any advice welcome

Bodsy seems to be the man you need to talk to on this has he knows all the contacts and what to say...

Flack

Glad its in warranty but bet you're gutted

Just had the feedback from Lancaster, crankshaft shattered seized engine. Replacing engine under warranty, not good for a 3 year old Range!!

Glad to read your getting sorted under warranty

This is a very expensive nightmare out of warranty as others have discovered and not something you want to see on RRS this new  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

In the original post you said

"Just heard today that a master fuse has blown and the crankshaft is broken, having the RR repatriated to the UK for repair. Fortunately RR under warranty has full service history with 92000 miles on the clock. "

I'm assuming the mileage of 92K was a typo with an extra zero because warranty is up to 60K but 9,200 also seems very,very low for a 4 year old motor?

Land Rover warranty is 3 years unlimited mileage Dr. Barney's is a 2011 so falls within the 3 year factory warranty.
