I have a 2003 Discovery with the manufacturer's defect found on the Technical Service Bulletin issued by LRNA on 3-14-2003 stating that the failure of an oil pump is a design defecr. LRNA has refused to repair my Rover even after the Service Manager and the Dealership owner have informed them that I have the technical alert in hand. I have turned this over to a lawyer who specializes in this area. The dealership owner told me he could not believe that LRNA is refusing repair and setting itself up for litigation like this, however it is now in the attorney's hand and I am ready to see them go down. LRNA has the ethical and moral obligation to make good on their admitted defect.

I have given LRNA every chance to right their wrong and they have slammed the door in my face.  The VIN range is all 2003 Discoverys ending with 3A771801 – 3A808362

My attorney is getting ready to file a lawsuit on my behalf regarding the 2003 Land Rover Discovery Oil Pump Failure causing the need to replace the entire engine assembly. He is also reviewing it for the possibility of a class action lawsuit. If interested, you can contact him....Michael Wing at 251-433-7468.

luck to ya!bummer bout not getting fixed  

I’m in the identical situation. Been without my ’03 for 2 weeks. Land Rover is not willing to do a thing for me even though they have issued the Technical Advisory explaining the cause of the failure.

I am absolutely amazed that a car company would not take reasonable action to correct a problem they are admitting to. The worst part is that the consumer is left with a $12,000 bill to fix a problem. It appears to me that LR would just rather pass on any major financial burden to the consumer. I have done some research and many people have gone through the same headaches when dealing with LR. I just wish I would have known this before owning my fist of 2 Discoverys.  

Possibly I will give your lawyer a call; a class action would certainly make things easier for all of us.
