My disco sport fully maintained by Land Rover just packed up at 60 mph and came to a halt stuck in drIve and had to be recovered By Land Rover assistance. Still technically under warranty-but Land Rover local garage need to strip engine first to fully diagnose problem but are saying new engine needed As timing chain seems to have snapped.Am most unhappy and without car.

Don't think I've ever heard of a chain breaking...you may just be unlucky with this, possibly a faulty chain. You would normally get rattling if the chain or guides were wearing badly. Certainly shouldn't be an issue on a vehicle with low miles.

LR agreed anew engine as bores beyond repair together with the other issues, I agree very unusual as I have had two previous LR’s doing over 100,000 miles in each with no troubles.
