    I actually didn't think that they were that unreliable. I rarely see them broken down and I'm out driving a lorry all day!

    The car is seven years old, but has less than 70000 miles. I just think that the price you pay for a car like that, the engine should not be seizing at that mileage. That is what I am hoping to go to Land Rover with.

    Well they may come up with a bigger contribution, but considering the high cost of a new engine and main dealer labour costs, the cheaper option for you is going to be having an independent fit a reconditioned engine.

    How old is the car, and how much would it be worth if the crank shaft hadn't snapped??
