Oil pump? Any whines and groans prior to seizure?

No nothing at all just cut out limped forward a little and stopped.

Strange one. This may not be as bad as it appears. An engine seizure is pretty catastrophic but can't imagine this without any warning sounds. Await outcome with interest, sorry can't help anymore.

Service at L/R so assume gen parts fitted ? Have heard of issues with oi filters not fitted correctly can lead to engine failure, but as above would expect plenty of noise before.
Other thought is has the pump belt snapped, though the car is low mileage it is due belts change as now 7 years old..
Could also be a fuel pump fault, would recommend having the fault codes read. Cutting out as you describe sound like fuel or electrical.. 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

Does the engine turn over when trying to start it?

The cars not 7 years until December and no it will not turn. It's not cutting out it just stopped and would not start tried until Bty went low nothing just a click local garage towed it for me and had a look day after said it will not turn at all by hand and oil has filings in oil.

I have one in with me just now, 59 reg with a snapped crank. Though it does have 160k miles...

I would expect something like this on a high miler and maybe not looked after this is neither just crazy I just wonder if LR did anything wrong. They want the car back to inspect it so that's £360 to get it up to them to start with, I just carnt get me head around a serviced car with such low miles giving out if it has.

Don't you have breakdown recovery? It's a must have owning a RRS. If so, won't they recover it to the LR garage for you?

That's not really the worry its the 37k car going pop I can not get my head around.

I'm sure yours isn't the first to go pop at such low mileage. Hope you get it sorted one way or another with minimal cost to yourself.

I'd drop all the oil out and take it back spiteful Range Rover Sport tdv8

That's why I mentioned checking the oil filter is not either faulty or a cheap brand or has been fitted incorrectly which causes a loss of oil pressure. I think it was DM who has mensioned it in the past and I think someone posted a TB up from LR about it.. Though it might of been on the D3 site where I saw it.. 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current
