Its back!!!! (New engine content)
Well, I have just been and collected my Disco, after having a new engine fitted.
I am really pleased! Sounds great, no vibration, very quiet and drives very well indeed.Its great to be back in the D4, and I will be keeping it.
The bill was £11,245 including the £1500 engine surcharge, as the old one was not serviceable.
My extra bill was £1100. I had new suspension arms, new brake pipes front to rear, new battery, 6 x new glow plugs etc. I thought it was money well spent while the body was off, as I had an advisory for a rear suspension arm on the last MOT.
I was pleased that they took off and cleaned and properly checked the turbos, EGRs etc, all of which they said were fine.
Tim Fry Landrovers have been brilliant, and have turned it around faster than I thought they would. Kept me in the loop all the time, and have done everything I asked.
Lets hope that all is good for the next few years!

Wow, £11k
Guess if the car is a keeper then it's a spend you can justify? I'd just be thinking about turbo, gearbox and all the other bits that could still fail 2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto

Hi Philip,
How old is your D4 and what was the age when this happened? Was it under LR warranty or only the warranty wise warranty?2014 D4 HSE Facelift Corris Grey
Previous :
Discovery Sport SE (awful)

The warranty company was Warranty Direct not "Wise".
