Though not ideal situation with engine, that's a pretty good turn round, don't think you ask for more in terms of rectification.
Mind you all dealerships must be getting plenty of practice nowadays in replacing engines D4 Landmark MY16 Santorini Black THE LAST
D4 HSE MY12 Marmais Teal: Gone. Missed a lot!
Freelander 2 SD HSE MY11 Silver:Thankfully gone.
D4 HSE MY11 Silver: Gone missed !
Range Rover Sport MY06 HSE Buck Blue: Gone missed!
Discovery D2 TD5 Facelift MY Red Gone Missed!
Discovery D2 TD5 Cobalt Blue: Gone Missed!
Discovery D1 Auto Oxford Blue Not missed at all!
Discovery D1 Avalon Blue First LR! missed!

That is certainly a fast turn around.
In these circumstances do they use a brand new off the shelf engine that would normally be shipped to the production line but instead are diverted to a main dealer?Discovery 4 HSE

Got my car back today with a new engine and new gear selector ( separate illumination issue .. nout to do with engine failure )
So iv been told is a full engine ( not a short block ) , but they do transfer stuff over once it's been checked .
I can see the new bottom half , but can't see much else ( not much room in there )
I have been given a new engine number for the V5
Everything is back working , the only thing they did not refit was the non standard sump guard and didn't reconnect the traxide dual battery leads .
All my other goodies .. winch / strobes etc still all operational
So iv loaded it back up with my tools .. and off to Gloucester tomorrow, so it will get a good test
I must say I can't fault LR assist and my dealer so far .
1 AA van , 3 relay trucks , pre paid taxi to dealers , new sport to smoke around in , car back withing 9 days , all clean and valeted and kept informed by dealers all the way
And just in case your interested .. there bill to LR was £10,280 and another £400 for gear selector
Thank god for warrantyG4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Glad the problem has been resolved quickly and you've got your car back. Excellent customer service from your dealer. And as you say, thank goodness for a decent warranty.
