Range Rover Sport Engine Seized NEED HELP !

I need some help on what to do

I purchased a 2014 Range Rover Sport Autobiography with 65,000 miles at the start of this year from a private dealer and purchased an extended 36-month warranty and have only driven it 5,000 miles and the service was due so I took it into a JLR Service Garage and go the Full Service done for around 600pounds after this service I decided to go to Germany and whilst on the motorway driving normally the car made a sound and shut off luckily I manage to pull over and then I tried restarting the engine and nothing was happening then a gearbox fault sign came on the dashboard i got the car towed to a JLR approved workshop to have the problem diagnosed they said there is a major engine fault and the engine will need to be opened in order to find out however its most likely the engine has been seized . I then decided to call the dealership I bought the car from and explained to them what happened and the said the warranty does not cover you outside the UK and the car will need to be transported back to them so I complied with them and got my car transported back to them after 3 weeks of investigation they said the car needs a new engine however it will not be covered under the warranty as the car broke down in Germany after being told this I decided to contact my solicitor and they wrote a letter to the dealer then they said they are going to investigate further and I am still waiting for a reply they have no had my car for over a month and are saying because of clause 12 in our terms and conditions it says "all claims must be made in the united kingdom " and because of this we do not cover you the car has a full LR and 70,000 miles do you think anything can be done the court battle will be too much of hassle for me and cost are astronomical is there a way LR can replace the engine because it is a common fault and ive seen alot of people complaining on alot of forums i just need advice on how to proceed .

i will attach pictures of the terms and conditions and please note i bought the prestige plus warranty

The dealer not accepting a warranty claim, because you drove the car abroad, is totally rediculous and unacceptable. Contact JLR customer service and take a lawyer to sue the dealership asap. RRS 3.0 SDV6 HSE Lux

Buatanut & Andyjay123, the guy does not want advice on English grammar. He wants some advice regarding his failed engine.
Andyjay123, I did not realise that used was spelt uSed & where is your full stop. Whistle I hope that both of you never have the problems he has.

Fair enough guys, apologies if I have offended anyone. That was not my intention, just a bit of light hearted fun.

This is a great forum, and yes we do take the P and enjoy the banter, however we do not tread on someone when they are in need of help. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.
