However, 87% of these cars were fixed under warranty, while 3% of owners had to pay between £1001 and £1500. Nearly 20% of cars were driveable and fixed in less than a day, while 3% were off the road for more than a week, and deemed non-driveable.

Fortunately, 100% of the cost of repairs was covered by Land Rover, so there were no nasty bills for owners. However, more than a quarter of cars couldn’t be driven, and 30% were off the road for more than a week.
