Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I encountered a fairly well documented problem with 2003 land rover discoveries. there was a manufacturers defect in the oil pump that ultimately causes the entire engine to fail. land rover has issued a technical service bulletin acknowledging the problem yet is not standing behind their product when the discoveries breakdown. they have told me that it was a faulty part that caused the engine failure in my vehicle yet they are trying to charge me to put in the new engine. *jb
