Had I been in the left hand lane still when this happened, the outcome for me and multiple others on the highway that day would not have been good. My Land Rover dealer (where my car was towed back to) confirmed engine failure. They found a torn oil filter and lots of metal shavings in the filter. They also found a damaged piston w
