[QUOTE="Ukjay, post: 4347192, member: 51920"] I think you will find LR did exactly the same thing with the discovery 3 - oil pumps were failing before or failed just after timing belt replacement, they had redesigned the oil pumps with less structural webbing, and one of the pulleys bolts to it - which then decided to part company with the engine. Lots of owners with siezed engines and they ignored it for most. Some lucky owners had engines replaced as good will, but they still refused to recall the vehicles that had the poor pump design, and they knew the owners woukd have to buy the engines from them - as they had the rights on parts design so no one else could provide replacements, which made reconditioned engines a somewhat laughable purchase. I personally replaced my pump at belt replacement as it was a known issue. I cannot understand why someone would play russian roulette with something that costs so little - especially when you can haggle the garage to pay labour if you pay the part. [/QUOTE]
