It's good for high mileage users like yourself that LR offer an unlimited mileage three year warranty.

A similar thing happened to me in my D3. I also feared the worst but it was the front nearside drive shaft. Hopefully that's all yours is. All covered by warranty. 2015 Discovery 4 HSE Corris with Blackpack

Eek!A common mistake made when trying to come up with a totally foolproof design is to completely underestimate the innate ingenuity of fools. :doh:

Messy isn't it!
The OSF final drive shaft went on mine the day after I bought it and er 15 mins after the breakdown cover kicked in. Thought my autobox had failed too the noise was dreadful.
So when the NSF CV joint went a few months later I managed to get home with a mix of rock crawl and low mode attracting lots of concerned looks from those I passed. No more damage done though.VR6 > 330D Touring > D3 HSE > !?XC90?!

Yes very messy.
Glad to see my neighbour hood watch busybody is on the ball. because the recovery truck dropped it 1/2 way across my neighbours drive (who I cleared it with on route home) and more than 6 '' away from the kerb. he has phoned the local plod saying there is an abanded car blocking a bus route. buses can still get round though. Have also left a note in the windscreen last night saying it will be moved this morning SSDD.
