Keep your cool, WD seem fair, in the circumstances one would hope they would do the right thing. I did read every word of their policy so I understood where I stand, that included getting immediate cover when my manufacturer warranty runs out.
Good luck!

Be careful as 2008MY will be EU4 emissions and there were quite a few engine changes between the two. I think Disco Mikey put a post up with the differences somewhere? 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!

There are differences between them.
The basic engine is the same i.e. block and heads etc, but everything that bolts onto the engine is different.
Injectors, fuel lines, HPFP, engine wiring loom, cooling system, EGR's, crankcase breather system etc...
Alternator, starter + turbo are the same IIRC 
Drop me a PM if you need any advice. Swapped a few engines now My D3 Build Thread

MMMM
Well at the moment im just looking at worst case scenarios, generally because whenever i get a car serviced the worsed possible outcome generally happens to me... and i mean every time. as follows:
1st bmw 325D bmw sevenoaks Coupe m sport, BMW damaged the rear alignment of the car whislt in there care nearly causing a massive accident
2nd bmw 330d M bmw crawley put half the amount of oil they were supposed to in the car on a service, damaging the engine!!!!!!!!
3rd Bmw 330d M Bmw Tonbridge a car knocked my wing mirror off whilst parked in there service bay, then they said it was already like it!!
4th Landrover engine blows up 3 days after service...
Thats in 4 years of motoring, just call me lucky or is that no one in a dealership gives a flying 
Bearing my unlucky disposition in mind whats the cheapest best engine for it? Spent tooo much club: Air compresser, parking ecu,D4 front D4 rear, tow bar, D4 arches, stormers 20" with General grabbers, new engine, new turbo, new front lower arms, new rear upper arms, new track rod ends, new anti roll bar bushes, Bas remap 2nd stage, K&N filter, clear indicators, door handle covers, nav update, wheel protector, new winch for spare wheel, 20" stormer spare, new plastic tube on top of engine, new fuel flap assembly, new mats, sill protectors,
