2020 defender x p400 engine failure
Hi, have any owners of the New Defender X P400 had an engine failure? Mine has just failed with cyclinder number 1 misfiring. After a diagnostic check at the dealers they said it has low compression and after carrying out a leakage test found cycliner 1 was losing compression into the crankcase. They have recommended an engine replace but not "offered" one under warranty yet????

No, I am in Zimbabwe, Southern Africa. There have been two other engines fail locally and more in South Africa I believe. The worry is once its replaced with could take ages how are you guaranteed it will not happen again?

I don’t think catastrophic engine failure is a common problem on these trucks. Good luck!

Issue with engine
Hello, I’m the owner of a Defender X-Dynamic p400 living in Ivory Coast. My engine had a failure with 2 cylinder (compression issue) after 6 month of ownership and 7 000 km. The engine has been replaced by the dealership, in the city of Abidjan, Ivory Coast nearly 50 Defender engine had broken, the dealership is fully aware and this situation and they have stopped the importation of the P400 6 Cylinder. They said the issue is related to the fuel quality, however all the other model of JLR don’t have this issue and we have tons of Range Rover here.
I also add the windshield issue, the roof top issue, and two of my main front light collapse at 2 month of interval.
