New Engine in Landcruiser £10,000

[munchi30]

As title, I broke down on M1 last Thursday in Landcruiser my wife drives, after a week at the garage they say it needs a new engine at £10,000, its 5 years old with 50,000 on clock, the thing is we had it valued 2 weeks ago at £20,000 because we are thinking about getting a new larger one, that £20,000 trade in has just shrunk to £10,000, 2 weeks before we go on Holiday and just as we are about to move into our new house, life is s**t sometimes.

Why did it fail? There is a outstanding oil strainer recall on 3.0 diesel engine check wth your dealer it may be in the chassis range.

so is this "for sale" or just something to talk about in this section?

Moved it Si my finger slipped I put it in here now

What engine was it!? £10k is a ridiculous amount of money for an engine!

I can get you a brand new Lamborghini V10 for £25,000.

Sounds like they're a bit OTT with their pricing, hopefully you'll get it cheaper.

If you were looking to get rid, I'd pick up a second hand engine. 10k is crazy money!

Thanks for replys, it's out of my hands, it's being sorted by the father in law, my wife doesn't know what's happening with it, hopefully we should be getting a new one shortly.
