New head gasket after 35,000 miles, just outside of time warranty though, so £1100.00 cost to me.

Service
The head gasket went. I took the car to Land Rover, who told me I'd need a new engine at £3500.00 + fitting + VAT. They were telling porkies - it only needed a new head gasket - total cowboys!
