sorry to hear this - i didnt think the oil pump was an issue on the later cars? Did your car have full history etc?

Yes good history inc belts change last aug with discs and pads

Spoke to finance comp yesterday afternoon and raised complaint. Rang back this morning and yes it is coveted under sale of goods act and they are sorting it
Best news ever and super quick response from them
👍

Good News indeed ,
Are you hoping to get the car repaired & returned, or gonna start looking for different car?

Fingers crossed hope it goes ok and is sorted for you .

sounds like a positive outcome under the circumstances

Excellent news. Time to start scouring auto trader for your replacement

Been contacted today to confirm replacement engine will be fitted, i have insisted on a similar mileage engine with proof of mileage via mot and engine number to match so I can check withdvla
Comes with a 3 month warranty
Hopefully all will be good
Hopefully wont be to long either as they seem to be on the situation now

I would also ask the belts all to be done, not saying they wont but if they are peeved to do the job in the first place evey penny they save may be detremental to you.

Already on that thank you 👍

Update
Dealer has found an engine with 8k less mileage i have the reg of the donor car but is there anyway to check the actual engine number to the mot as part of the history. I have done the gov mot check but it dies not give the engine number ( lots of fails and advisories for brakes etc but nothing for mechanical or emmisions)

Hiya
Are the garage just going to put the donor engine direct into your Car ?
not going to get it reconditioned, or swap belts or anything ?
how do they know the engine is in a good condition?

Not sure I'd want an engine from a donor that has a poor MOT history. If someone isn't looking after the brakes etc., then how mechanically sympathetic are they likely to have been with the engine? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Unfortunately i have not got many options as by law so long as the repair it i cannot reject the car
I will have 3 months guarantee so if anything happens i can reject the car
I love it and hope all goes well
