Hello All,
Posting for a parent and a complete car novice & looking for some advice. He has a 2013 Range rover auto SDV8 A diesel 4367 cc engine, he has been told the engine is completely knackered and that Land rover don't make those engines anymore so can't get a new replacement and the garage ( a land rover specialist) advises refurbs generally aren't great in their view or worth the money. Vehicle has done 65k mileage. It's a beautiful car and he would really hate to see it have to be put off the road ( also given it's only just 10 years old!) If anyone could offer any advice on whether refurbed engines are generally ok and/or generally costs to expect and a reputable place to source one from if it is possible?
Also a long shot i'm sure.... is there any approach to Landrover for compensation because the car is only 10 years old and it cannot now be replaced with a genuine new part?
Posted on the general forum but was advised to post on here for more specific advice.
Many thanks for any advice you can give.
