Thank you, fingers crossed. I have one garage interested with space in December but two weeks later they have gone quiet without sending a quote. The battle continues..

True, changing oil is much easier for them. Doesn’t stretch them too much.

Making an observation on how poor their service is rather than blaming them. They don’t have the skills is the reality. Ford are the ones to blame and me for buying it but I am a sadist I think.

Crazy prices,

What did he do?

This is the thing. The use warranty as an excuse but bottom line is I don't think these guys have the skills. If they were good enough engineers they would stand behind their work.

I wish i had seen this before buying a 3.0 :) maybe when this one blows up?, :)

I would love to put a petrol lump in but I can’t find much on that so going to put the same back in.

Good question. I made one big assumption which was my go to mechanic would support me and give it a go. I didn’t expect him to disappear initially and finally come back to me with a raft of excuses as to why he cannot do the engine swap. Turns out he has a lot going on in his life that is taking...

True, but i bought it broken. It is criminal though.

Yes, they don’t repair and only wanted to fit a JLR supplied recon crate motor. Quote was £10k to £12k so they were a total waste of time.

Good to highlight. Scamming is ridiculous at the moment.

Hi all, My 2010 (2011MY) 3.0 SDV6 has a broken crank. I am trying to get it fixed as economically as possible. My go to mechanic has decided it is too much for him to cope with so won’t help. Two other mechanics i contacted showed interest but have also disappeared. I went to a specialist...

Very true, there have been 2 L322 in the middle too. Great looking car though I think

Thank you! I must hate myself :)
