Lee.
Do you have manual transmission and is your VIN in the range 5A300394-7A422271?
If so, the following Technical Service Bulletin may assist you in reclaiming all/most of the cost:
TSB 308-001
A customer may report a concern of one or more of the following symptoms:
This bulletin has been re-issued to include a closing VIN.
Strong odors from under vehicle when, or after, a slow speed maneuver (e.g. difficult parking maneuver), especially when on gradients.
Clutch slip.
The clutch pedal has stuck in the downward position or not releasing fully.
Difficulty in engaging gears.
Cause: The clutch drive plate lining material is not tolerant to high heat inputs caused by slipping, becomes soft and is then damaged beyond recovery even when it has cooled.
Action: Should a customer express concern regarding the above, refer to the Service Procedure detailed in this bulletin to renew the clutch assembly.

I had the same issue, allthough it was a few months after the clutch change - if it's the same as mine it will be a pin that has fallen out in the gear linkage.
My assumption was that the fitter damaged or failed to refit the linkage properly after the clutch swap.
Personally I wouldn't have paid for the clutch and I would take it up with Marshalls and LR Customer services!!! Some say the glass is half full. Others that it is half empty. I say 'Are you drinking that?"

Wish my clutch had lasted 47,000 miles, it was replaced after 6,500 miles as the gears were near impossible to select. 55 plate manual. Done at Williams Manchester, no explaination - but suggested it had been used off road to much. Does parking on kerbs count ?

Yes the repair was done free of charge, other warranty work done at the same time included fuel filters , engine dianostics, rattles, faulty paintwork, trim repair, 3rd row seat replacement (17 items in total). The motor went back a couple of times but all the work was free.
The engineer pointed out although clutch problems were rare they were not unheard of.
