Engine blown on 4 year old RRS - advice needed please?

Hi - last weekend my 2011 3.0 RRS made a massive noise on the motorway followed by red triangle messages and Amber messages (reduced performance, oil monitoring pressure etc etc) and came to a gradual holt. Car taken to a garage on the back of a recovery lorry where they have I formed me that the engine has got something majorly mechanical going wrong inside (they suspect a broken crankshaft on one side) - engine will start but misfires due to injector issues however does not run smoothly to say the least. No oil loss, no smoke out the exhausts.

Waiting for a formal quote however concerns they have not replaced an engine on one of these before (as the body needs to be removed from the chassis)

Gutted that only 4 years old and 46k miles on the clock and they seem to be talking about £10k+ (but not confirmed yet)

Cutting to the chase - I'm looking for any contacts for a garage that has undertaken an engine replacement on one of these before (ideally in Warwickshire) and any contacts for sourcing a replacement engine (I think they mentioned a stripped engine meaning without the ancillary parts)

Any help would be appreciated please........thanks Thumbs Up

I'm sure I've seen this exact same description a month or so ago, maybe on a different site or on here, not sure, but either I've got déjà vu or this has been posted before....? Bodsys Brake Bible

On that mileage and as long as service history intact, I'd be having a discussion with LR. Bodsys Brake Bible

Yes I have LR service history but wasn't purchased through a main dealer so not sure if that will make any difference?!?! I'm certainly going to be sending an email to JLR
