Now im more confused any one had a replacment/recon engine done in a sport and been happy with it? if so where did you have the work done? any good recomendations last thing i want to do is thow more hard earend money at it just to be in the same boat in a months time

It's simple - LR won't sell parts to third parties so no one is able to offer a true recon engine except LR. Anyone who offers one is either lying about it being a recon or is sourcing non-original parts from some other source. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Disco Mikey has done quite a few. He is well respected on both this and the Disco Forums
I copied this from one of his Posts
Never fitted a used 3.0, due to them Censored themselves so often...

2.7 replacement is £4.5k inc new oil pump and belts while it’s in bits

A 3.0 replacement would be around £7k

So its also feasible that a percentage of us may be driving around with cars that have had the change in past ownership, but unaware to the current owner.

Steve. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

if Range Rover cant manufacture parts that do the job they are designed to do? maybe its worth giving non Genuine parts a try? they might be of better build quality? whats the worst that can happen?

In my line of business I have known generic/pattern part manufacturers to find and produce a modified part the worked quicker than the oem.

So it can happen but lifting the body off the chassis to get the engine out is such a big job you would not want to have to do it again for a while.

Just traded my MY10 in after reading this post. Tried to buy a Brand new XC90 but ended up getting a two year old RRS and will just have to keep extending the Land Rover warranty 2016 3.0 SDV6 HSE Dynamic Aintree Green Black 21” Wheels Ivory Leatherr with Mocka Dash and carpets
2010MY 3.0 TDV6 HSE, Ipanema Sand, 20" 15 spoke alloys,
Ivory perforated leather/Ebony dash top & Carpets/Anigre trim - Now Gone
Porsche Carrera 4 (996) manual, Silver & Grey Leather - tucked up in garage
Swift Sundance motorhome on Fiat Ducato X250 chassis
Disco 300tdi - gone
Saab 93 Convertible Hirsche kit - gone
Global GT Light track car (150bhp 300kg) fast but so unreliable - Gone

The extended warranty doesn’t cover it though by all accounts.

When I previously contacted LR to ask what their response would be if the worst happened, they said they would help. If helping amounts to 20% off the price of a new engine (when they're probably making 40% margin) .

Just a small Update!!! Just recevied a call back from the dealer i purchased the car from (Just 6 months and 2 weeks before the Crankshaft snapped) there answer is ..............
they wont do anything to assist!!! after nearly 3 months im no further forward with them, and they tried there bully boy tactics about me leaving reviews
Thank you SAXTON 4 x 4 your customer service is
looks like a recon engine it is then!!

Saxton 4 x 4 (historically at least) are one of the worst dealers around. A quick google of their feedback makes for solemn reading . They were getting sued left right and centre at one point.

Many moons ago I went to look at a revere Range Rover they had for sale it was a complete state, along with all the other cars in their lot, filthy and damaged all over.

I did speak to a salesman from there last year regarding a particular car they had for sale (non Range Rover) and he assured me they d turned over a new leaf and if I placed a deposit I could travel down to see the car, however even that filled me with dread as they have an MO of not returning deposits aswell so I didn’t chance it.

Not helpful to yourself I m afraid but a warning to others .
