And that's the issue, there does not seem to be any guidelines.

Didn’t DM say that the 3.0 replacement costs had, or were to, about half? Maybe this is the way they do the same for the 2.7s?

Either way I’m glad I’m no longer playing the game. Thumbs Up

Yes, JLR took £5k off the cost of a 3.0 engine

Still an expensive repair, but substantially cheaper now Thumbs Up
