I’d like to know if any Highways D3/4’s ever did suffer crank failure.

As far as I can understand I believe the 3.0 D5's have the same engine but possibly 1 turbo so snapped cranks will probably continue unless they have improved them somewhat or just using 2.0 versions.

Many Thks , as I did wonder what engine they used and indeed like u say if they’ve been improved Thumbs Up

Would be rather embarrassing for JLR if these new D5s also suffered from the crank issues

I’ve had a few chats with HA officers over the years. Always about their vehicles. They never mentioned it, but I don’t think I specifically asked. Embarassed

I would have thought with the massive mileage they do they must see all kinds of issues from every manufacturer they use.
