Thoughts - assuming a seized fuel pump, and knowing that these items are generating the absolutely ginormous rail pressure of 1800 bar. The failure is most likely to be the result or a combination of:

It seems that none of the HP pumps were seized. All rotates quite easily after camshaft failure.

It's not my merit and photos. It's the merit of all Russian colleagues on the www.lr-club.com forum. They are the ones that collected the data, made the pictures and try in this moment to sensitize Land Rover to this problem. So please try to read/translate the long thread who's link I posted in the first message, in order to know and to see the whole story. I've only tried to propagate here also the problems that they have and the data they've collected. Who knows, maybe in this way LR will become more sensitive to the owners' problems. |

I don't believe the Q106 could influence in any matter this issue. It's just an firmware update for improving the autobox life and operation.

The interior of the pump doesn't look to worn at 100.000 km. Again, none of the pumps were seized.

To be fair I'm not surprised cars in Russia are failing more than anywhere else... After being in Moscow recently I can vouch that cars get a hard life. You have to see it to believe it. And I bet fuel won't be as good a quality as ours (america's isn't also) Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35
