You have my sympathy, as someone who has suffered similarly, but was lucky being within the three years.
In the 400 miles since the new engine, it has been back to the dealer for failed sensors!!!

Looks superb, Jas, nice job ...
Makes me want to change to an SVR even more, I just wish I could have a drive of a 2018. I'm beginning to think that if I do it, it'll be without any testing ... |

I don't seem to be talking myself out of it! I'm going to get a 24 hour demo of a 2018 SVR when one is available, so that will probably seal it. Needless to say, the configuration and all financial de ... |

Hi all
A final update. After the last one above, the dealer called again to say the engine job was finished already! I'm told the 'master tech' did it - he must work quickly.
Anyway, I picked the ca ... |

Minor update: they are telling me it was diagnosed as a 'bottom end bearing; failure and not taken apart because LR authorised replacement. This seems to be in line with what we expected. Could be sor ... |

Sorry to hear your news, KieRRSAB. My engine is currently being replaced, but I haven't been given any details on the failure yet.
I am fairly appalled to hear that it won't be guaranteed beyond Se ... |

Apparently made by Meridian, but in my experience over the years, not much good.
Make sure that you find one with an 825W spec. And good luck! |

Update
I had a diagnosis late last Friday. A serious engine problem, LR have agreed to ship a new one out for a complete replacement.
I asked for more detail but didn't get it. I assume the cranksha ... |

The update received yesterday was a fairly cryptic acknowledgement that the problem seemed serious and they will let me know more when they get it up and take it apart ... Pretty useless and quite slo ... |

It feels the same size when driving, but is much more silky/floaty in terms of refined ride. Of course there is no dynamic and it feels much less sporty - steering feel and precision etc. The performa ... |

A bit of an update ...
LR sorted the dealer to give me a FFRR AB to use, so was okay with that. I had to refuse an Evoque several times.
They have only just booked my car in today, so no ideas y ... |

It went yesterday afternoon when I was less t ... |
