Steering rack failures/recalls

A friend has just had a failure of the steering rack retaining bolts. This was on a later Evoke. But she was told that this problem was common across the range for quite a few years. So does this effect Discoveries 3 or 4.
Apparently LR will pay if pressured. 1955 SWB Series 1 86 inch

Don't believe there is any relation to D3/D4. Some Evoke steering motors were mounted with aluminium bolts (!?) Richard

Similar problem effects some older models of BMW and Minis, wife's Mini steering has been locked for 4 months it's had a new Car Access Module fitted £800 now needs a new steering lock which BMW will not supply without the complete column £1200. Twisted Evil It can when others can't,

aren't there column emulators out there (for mini) on ebay, which mimic the lock and allow the car to start.

SamCrac on youtube fitted one

I've tried one, the diagnostic tec who fitted the CAS module says right or wrongly it's that that has blown the CAS module. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Affects Disco Sport, Evoque, L405/494, presumably the Velar too...

But its not a recall, as its not a safety issue Confused My D3 Build Thread
