My Disco broke down in Spain on my way home just before lockdown
After a challenging trip home I waited for the vehicle to arrive back to the uk . Hatfields , the dealer is closed so it eventually was taken to York dealer Inchcape 5 weeks later

There it languishes as there are no engines as the factory is closed - the engine seized - they are not telling me why but say they have had this happen to 2 other customers.

I have been given a rental - I have asked JLR and Hatfields to replace my car as they can’t repair it but they refuse

Any one else had this happen and any ideas other than just waiting ??

I’ve had the same issue. Disco 5 2 years old. Complete engine failure with less than 20k miles. Had to have a brand new engine fitted. Been waiting over 2.5 months for LR or the dealer to explain why and also agree to some e tensed warranty to reassure me for the future. Still no satisfactory reply. One passes the buck to the other. Did u get to the bottom of your issue?
