Re-reading those chassis ranges, there appear to be a few errors in them

If that chassis number is definitely correct, then you have a 3.6 TDV8, which was not affected by this recall It only affected the 2.7 TDV6 |

Ye Mickey, chassis number defo correct. My Range Rover went on fire at 6.00am in morning in carport. It had not be driven since 5.00pm previous day. It was not arson. Something seriously went wrong with it. Because it was so badly fire damaged, completely destroyed the phrenic guy in fires done a full written detailed report, but because so badly damaged could not pin point where the fire started in the jeep. Can u suggest anyone I could send report to eg: a specialist in Range Rover car fires? The report is very detailed, and loads of pics as well. |

When they fail, they can cause an alarming amount of smoke as they short circuit, and draw 400 amps out of the battery... |

Is there anyway I can send you report and pics. It is very detailed. I have a little boy with special needs who lost a lot of specialist equipment and toys that were on the deck. My insurance will not cover these or the deck area as they say it was an add on. The carport that I had built especially for him is not covered either. He loves outside. The deck area also had a roof , whole area approx 30ft x20. The fire really effected him. I had bought Range Rover as I thought it was a safe wY of transporting him as he has being through so much. |

I'm no expert at forensics, but send it over to my email, and I'll take a look through it
