For that, you get a genuine LR recon lump with a 2 year, unlimited mile warranty

Given that a 2.7 engine has come down to £4095 + VAT, we live in hope that the 3.0 will also be a bit cheaper in the not too distant

If LR can supply a recon motor for you to fit in to the car in your quote of £9.5k what on earth are dealers doing for the extra £12.5k

all the best

Out of interest, how long of a job is it?

I’m not sure what the hourly rate is, but Guy Salmon quoted me for two hours to diagnose a small leak last week, £360 plus vat!

Luckily the approved warranty covered it and it was only a gearbox sump plug gasket! Mad for what is essentially 10p worth of metal gasket  Range Rover Sport HSE DYnamic SDV6 Velocity blue 2020 MY

Subframe down, or put the front

Subframe bolt v Alu body scares the bejesus out of me. Out the front is the method of choice

No you don't. If the dealer orders a recon, they get delivered a recon

If they order a recon, and thats not available, they get a brand new lump, same as anyone else who orders a replacement engine

Do Land Rover really recondition old motors? I find it hard to believe that they are in that business, I've toured their factories several times and never seen anywhere it takes place. A new motor can't cost more than £4/5k to produce.

RRS sold and replaced with a Skoda Kodiaq after appalling RR Dealer experience and LR inability to supply new cars in any sort of reasonable time frame..

JLR don't, they are done under contract

I forget who does them, but they don't sell to trade, only to the manufacturer
