Ron, i get what you're saying, but maybe reliability is more crucial than the cost

Just had replacement at 40K. FOC under warranty.
Have known for a while it was failing but to get warranty it has to be kaput! Sounded like brushes/slip rings as it developed a fair whine, which could be enough warning to get it changed if one was paying for it oneself. A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Mine gave up at 145k whilst on hols in Germany
Unfortunately the battery died about 5k after the new alternator was fitted, but luckily my kind LR dealer replaced this under warranty
It seems there are lots of rotary items that fail between 100k and 150k (wheel bearings, diffs, CV joints, Alternators, Steering Pumps, Water Pumps, Oil Pumps)
Maybe a D3 is only designed to last that long anyway Never get mad - get even !!
06 D3 now gone to family member and still going strong at 265k
previous vehicles:
04 D2 TD5 - (clocked 189k from new)
52 X-Trail 2.2 SVE
various euro boxes !
