Hi folks , ive had my rrs tdv8 for nearly 2 years with no problems what so ever . Last week I went to a vw car show in shrewsbury , there was stand there called ACE Carcare . I had my range rover re-mapped (black code) and the engine terracleaned , while the engine was being terracleaned I noticed loads of blue/grey smoke coming out of the back ! the salesman said this was normal ?? , when they had finished I parked the car until the morning when I started my journey home . 25 miles into the journey I heard a load `pop` and the car was smoking really bad from the exhausts .I got the car recovered to a local independent land rover garage and they have told me no2 piston has failed and I need a new engine the bill for this is going to be £10,500.00 I am trying to claim on black codes warranty but they are not returning my calls
Can anybody recommend where I can get an engine , I have heard of a place in Scotland called engine engineering but I need a bit of feed back / advice from you guys on here thanks

Are you positive about the diagnose
most of cases its only egr failure giving similar symptoms?

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

the report said they removed injectors and did a cylinder compression test , found no2 injector wet with engine oil , all compression around 20 bar except number 2 at 9 bar .?? inspected top of pistons , suspect pistons failed. requires futher investigation which would mean remove engine strip and inspect pistons
