Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: As i was driving down the road, the oil light came on and the engine began to make loud clanging noise. as i began to pull over, the car stalled. i called land rover customer service and was informed that although i was still under the mileage,that my warranty had expired 5 days earlier. i had the car towed to local land rover dealer and was informed that land rover would not cover the vehicle. the dealer concluded that vehicle needs a new motor. an independent land rover repair facility has concluded that engine failure was the result of oil pump failure. land rover issued a technical bulletin on march 14, 2003 stating that engine failures on '03 and '04 discovery are the result of manufacturing error on the oil pump. vehicle still needs a new motor, land rover has been very uncooperative even when presented with the tech alert (ta03 1201). i am 2 months with out a vehicle. car is available for inspection. *nm
