Engine Problems of Land Rover Discovery Ii

I own a 2003 Land Rover discovery se. This vehicle only has 57,000 miles and has been very well maintained. Recently I noticed a tap coming from the engine. I immediately took it over to the local Land Rover dealer. After a couple of days, I was informed that it needed a new engine in order to fix this problem, at a cost of $14,000. What a joke! there is a widespread problem with these trucks maintaining adequate oil pressure in order to keep them running properly. Once again the consumer gets the shaft. I am now stuck, along with a lot of other lr owners, faced with a huge repair bill. This matter should have been looked into as a possible recall.

While driving our Land Rover it started to overheat. I pulled of to the side of the road while smoke came from under the hood. I had it towed to a repair shop since it would not start after allowing it to cool. The repair shop indicated that the aluminum cams had melted and that they alone could not be repaired. They stated an engine replacement would be necessary. Cost $5600 - $7300. Miles on vehicle at time of incident 87,000.

2004 Land Rover Discovery Ii with 44k miles, under warranty, and recently serviced at dealership, spontaneously caught fire, while unoccupied, and turned off, to the point of complete destruction of engine & front end, did not destroy interior. Extremely lucky that others were not hurt, or not driving at time of occurrence.

Vehicle had 47,000 miles. Engine began running a little rough. Brought vehicle to dealer service center. Upon examination of engine, technician noted that two spark plug wires had "arched against the valve block. The wires and plugs were damaged by the arching against the valve block and they had to be replaced. Designed location placement and quality of spark plug wires should not be such that arching against the valve block may occur. This is an unsafe design and / or mechanical / structural defect and it should be remedied post haste.

After owning my brand new 2003 Land Rover discovery for about 5 weeks, I was driving on a highway when the oil light came on. Within seconds the vehicle began making and odd noise. I pulled off to the side of the highway and by the time I got out of the vehicle, it was on fire. The entire front end of the vehicle burnt off. Land rover has refused to take responsibility for their defective vehicle and will do nothing about this situation. In addition, everyone that I have dealt with at Land Rover has been rude, inconsiderate and evasive. They have also refused to pay for the personal items that were in the vehicle and damaged because of the fire.
