Another Engine !!!!!

Sadly have to report the demise of another engine in a D4 . now I know this is hardly surprising
Pleased its under an approved used warranty with 3 months left to run ! Or so I thought!!!!!
However the nationwide repair system doesnt seem to operate . It was bought from a dealer some distance away as the local franchises had nothing to offer! None of them want to help ? or should I say are not acting like they will. One cannot even diagnose for 3 weeks so they say ! well vibration followed by red oil pressure lights and a total lack of turning over suggests only one thing. On top of that the same dealer happily tells me the warranty wont stand up as theres a discrepancy in the service records from well before I bought it Shocked However Landrover happily let it enter the approved scheme Smile .I have to laugh or I could cry the grief they have caused me .
I will name and shame when this whole nightmare gets sorted ,however due to my location im guessing its not to difficult to work it out.
Hopefully there will be a happy ending which is being hatched at the moment and those people will have the highest praise shouted out as well!
For those not aware when the engine fails Carplan (approved scheme insurer) passes the buck back to Landrover and this is where things can get complicated . Sadly due to frequency this is now regarded as an inherent problem for which Carplan hold no responsibility.However to their credit they are nothing but helpful.

IMO the LR approved scheme is now a million miles away from what it was. I will never buy from LR approved again thats for sure

good luck with the dealers and warranty company, hope they do the decent thing and sort it for you.

out of interest how long have you had the D4? could the sales of goods act (or whatever its current title is) come into play?

It's 2016 with 65k. If only the approved scheme was what it says in the adverts as to me if you have this warranty the vehicle gets fixed and any comeback to LR is down to carplan to argue not for me to sit back waiting on goodwill from LR!

Just a little update ! finally off to the dealer it was bought from next week to be sorted . You cannot believe the petty political posturing of my local dealers (who should be doing it) . It is no wonder they have people going out of local area to buy LR . I have bought 5 discos from them in the past and they treat you like something on the bottom of their shoe. Hopefully wont be to long it will be back with new engine fitted.

Just a quick update ! yesterday I got the news that JLR are picking up the full bill for this . Apart from a slight delay getting it to the dealer due to transport it has all gone smoothly . Hopefully soon back in action.

I seem to have heard one or two better stories recently of LR picking up the full cost.

Great news!

I think we were on a QQ forum years ago unless it was another popsdosh!


Any idea what caused the engine failure? Very low mileage and a late 2016 model too!

Really pleased to hear they did the right thing.... I am in the same boat with the warranty...... I have a 2014 and it has never left the dealer network or the approved used warranty. There is a service back in 2016 that was 2500 miles late (previous owner) and I know should the worst happen they will look back to this.... I think they would have to honour any claim as they happily took the car into the approved used scheme as they did yours.


Its good to hear a good news story regarding this. Thumbs Up

There may be lots of cars with very late services soon, due to the lockdowns last year and dealers being shut.

I worked right through them and needed my car servicing, but luckily my specialist garage owener opened and did mine for me.

Will be interesting to see how warranty companies treat these gaps in the future!

A quick update , Finally its back all fixed with new engine , Thank you Shukers ! They have been great !!!!


It is very sad that I had to go so far to get the service that should be there in every dealership. Im sure you can all work out from my location who my local dealer is . They were the most obstructive and unhelpful people I have ever dealt with.

Good to hear it’s back. Well done to Shukers. They have been one of the better dealers in the country since the early days of the forum.
