First off lucky boy on that being covered by the warranty, maybe get yourself a lottery ticket, if it was me and I was selling to a dealer I would just let it go , if it was a private sale I would inform them that it’s had a new engine. |

Personally, I would be happy to buy a car with a new engine, turbos etc rather than one with 37k on it. What's not to like.

I’ll be trading it in against so I may just take a chance and sell it as it is when I get it back. I think if I was selling it privately, I would apply for a new log book.

Did you use the LR dealer for the other issues (only using the specialist this time because you had to)? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

For the battery issues because I knew they weren’t covered by warranty, I took it to the LR specialist. Other niggles, side steps, suspension Inchcape LR. |

No, my dealer told me point blank that if it was a battery it would be treated as wear and tear and not covered. It was 5 years old and probably needed changing anyway. They couldn’t see it for 4 weeks anyway so I took it to my local specialist. Wasn’t a problem... |

I had battery problems, normally "low battery start car". Pointless taking it to Land Rover. They probably just left it overnight to see if it discharged. I took it to an Auto Electrician who found a parasitic drain. He had it for the best part of a week as he had to try something, let the car go to sleep & see if that was it. Obviously, a time-consuming process, but not as expensive as it would seem for someone to have the car for a week, as when he was waiting for something to show up, he was working on other vehicles.

Mine was never a low battery warning, I wish it was. It was just completely dead. Nothing. Not even enough for the electric locks to work.

I would be hacked off with that as well, before I brought my sport I was looking at various similar vehicles, I’ve had a lot of Range Rovers in the past some good some not so good, the biggest problem I found was finding something with a petrol Engine , I can’t go through Diesel DPF problems again on short journeys, the choice is very limited unless you go for for a normal type car.

A JLR recon is built to the same standards as a brand new one. You won't have any issues*
