It's simple - LR won't sell parts to third parties so no one is able to offer a true recon engine except LR. Anyone who offers one is either lying about it being a recon or is sourcing non-original parts from some other source. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Disco Mikey has done quite a few. He is well respected on both this and the Disco Forums Thumbs Up
I copied this from one of his Posts
Never fitted a used 3.0, due to them Censored themselves so often...

2.7 replacement is £4.5k inc new oil pump and belts while it’s in bits

A 3.0 replacement would be around £7k

So its also feasible that a percentage of us may be driving around with cars that have had the change in past ownership, but unaware to the current owner.

if Range Rover cant manufacture parts that do the job they are designed to do? maybe its worth giving non Genuine parts a try? they might be of better build quality? whats the worst that can happen?

In my line of business I have known generic/pattern part manufacturers to find and produce a modified part the worked quicker than the oem.

So it can happen but lifting the body off the chassis to get the engine out is such a big job you would not want to have to do it again for a while.

Just traded my MY10 in after reading this post. Tried to buy a Brand new XC90 but ended up getting a two year old RRS and will just have to keep extending the Land Rover warranty 2016 3.0 SDV6 HSE Dynamic Aintree Green Black 21” Wheels Ivory Leatherr with Mocka Dash and carpets
2010MY 3.0 TDV6 HSE, Ipanema Sand, 20" 15 spoke alloys,
Ivory perforated leather/Ebony dash top & Carpets/Anigre trim - Now Gone
Porsche Carrera 4 (996) manual, Silver & Grey Leather - tucked up in garage
Swift Sundance motorhome on Fiat Ducato X250 chassis
Disco 300tdi - gone
Saab 93 Convertible Hirsche kit - gone
Global GT Light track car (150bhp 300kg) fast but so unreliable - Gone

The extended warranty doesn’t cover it though by all accounts.

When I previously contacted LR to ask what their response would be if the worst happened, they said they would help. If helping amounts to 20% off the price of a new engine (when they're probably making 40% margin) .


Actually, they don’t. These engines are built for JLR by Ford at Bridgend.
Under the sale to TATA, Ford did exactly what BMW did when they sold the company to Ford, badly, no warranty on the engines, so whole cost falls on JLR.

Ford can charge now, what they think is the going rate, the discounted rate now at an end.

This was the push to produce their own 4 in line and 6 in line engines, as the cost was cheaper than carrying on with Ford production. Just bought a RRS 06 MY HSE TDV6 136,000 miles, to be a second car to my bland, boring Mitsubishi Outlander 68 plate 2.0 petrol 4

Actually, removing the body isn't that big a deal. The vehicle has been designed to have it done and a competent garage can do it in a couple of hours. Compared to the time taken to sort out other issues, it's a small cost really. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Saxton 4 x 4 (historically at least) are one of the worst dealers around. A quick google of their feedback makes for solemn reading . They were getting sued left right and centre at one point.

Many moons ago I went to look at a revere Range Rover they had for sale it was a complete state, along with all the other cars in their lot, filthy and damaged all over.

I did speak to a salesman from there last year regarding a particular car they had for sale (non Range Rover) and he assured me they d turned over a new leaf and if I placed a deposit I could travel down to see the car, however even that filled me with dread as they have an MO of not returning deposits aswell so I didn’t chance it.

Not helpful to yourself I m afraid but a warning to others .

I remember speaking to a salesman at a LR dealership when I bought my red edition & I mentioned Staxtons having plenty of used RR,,his reply was they get all the crap that LR dealers don’t want to put on their forecourt.
