2003 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

EXTREMELY LOUD KNOCKING NOISE INSIDE THE ENGINE. *TR

OIL PUMP FAILURE. LAND ROVER ISSUED A TECHNICAL ADVISORY TO ALL OF THEIR DEALERS IN MARCH 2003 WARNING THAT DUE TO A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT IN THE ENGINE BLOCK DOWELS BEING MISDRILLED WHERE OIL PUMP HOUSING IS MOUNTED, THAT THE MISALIGNMENT CAUSES THE OIL PUMP HOUSING TO BE STRESSED EVENTUALLY CAUSING THE OIL PUMP TO FAIL. THE ONLY EFFECTIVE REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2006 WHICH HAD COME OFF LEASE. I HAD IT SERVICED AT LAND ROVER DEALER IN SOUTHAMPTON NY AND THEY NEVER ADVISED ME THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND THAT MY VEHICLE FELL WITHIN THE VIN RANGE REFERRED TO IN THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY. OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE ARE OVER 30,000 VEHICLES CURRENTLY ON THE ROAD WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL AND WHY DOES LR NOT REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ENGINES? *TR

IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE ENGINE OIL CONSTANTLY LEAKS...TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR NUMEROUS TIMES BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON....TOOK IT IN A FEW TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR CENTER SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL SENSOR PROBLEM. THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND GO AWAY ON ITS OWN. SINCE MARCH 2010, THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS DECIDED TO STAY LIT. WILL TAKE IT IN FOR VEHICLE INSPECTION AT THE DEALERSHIP. JUST YESTERDAY, ALL MY PASSENGER WINDOWS CAN NOT BE MOVED UP OR DOWN WITH THE WINDOW CONTROLLER. A SIMILAR PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURE NUMEROUS TIMES ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGER WINDOWS. THEY WERE REPLACED EACH TIME IT WAS...
