Update:

It is now 11/29/17 and still no phone calls for my car. I was told on 11/03/17 that it would be 1 and MAX 2 weeks before I was back in the car driving..

It's now 11/29/17 and not even so much as a phone call for the last month basically.
Here is a few numbers for you guys:

As of today: 104 days getting fixed in total!

Time since I have last SAT in my car and drove it? 84 days and counting.

My god... what a fail.

Good thing you got that Honda to hold you over!

I would be furious! I have not read many (if any) stellar reports regarding JLR customer service. And all the while you are still paying...

Back when I was in high school ('60s) and driving beaters in New England, the ticking noise was always an indication of low oil and/or poor circulation...particularly during the cold winter months. During the winter, 10W-30 usually solved the ticking noise, especially once the engine and oil warmed up and started flowing. However, during the summer, a ticking noise usually meant the lifters weren't getting sufficient oil. Something to think about.

Update:

Still no car. Dropped off Sept. 5th.. it is now almost February.

Yeah, you read that right.

09/05/2017 - 01/29/2018 or 146 days..

Or in other words. 4 months and 24 days later. Last I called about a few days ago, no idea when it'll be done they said.

Been paying payments for the last 5 months.

You're more patient than I would be. I hope you're somewhere where you'd be storing it for the winter anyway.

At this point, I'd be talking to an attorney.

Good luck, and keep us posted!

I thought you had engaged an attorney to "lemon" the car. How goes that process? I would have thought that JLR would have agreed by now, based on the problems you had.

You should engage with an attorney. Maybe could even get a class action going on since you are not the only remember on this forum to suffer from this issue. My car almost suffered the same fate, but thanks to JVIII, I did a quick check of my oil when I started seeing the same codes as him and what do u know, my oil was super low. Sucks you had to wait this long, I'm freaking out about having to wait 2 months for my smashed car repairs.

Condolences on the wait. Is the delay tied to the debate on determining liability or did you come to a settlement?

Why haven't you lemoned the car yet? It should be a open-and-shut case at this point.

Keep us updated. GL.
