To be honest, it could be caused by any number of things. You will need to read the fault codes to narrow it down a bit. |

There was a recent post from someone with a similar problem. A member (Alex-Pescaru I think) suggested(correctly) that it was a faulty fuel filter that was causing the fuel to overheat and the engine to go into reduced power in order to protect itself from damage. The filter has a little bimetal valve that should allow fuel to circulate properly. If the filter is faulty or a cheap one this valve can stick causing the fuel to overheat. Fitting a genuine Land Rover (Purlux) fuel filter would cure the problem. Might be worth a try. |

Of all the services and work i did on the car, the fuel filter was never changed. The previous owner said that it was changed by him before i bought it. Will have a try and change it with a genuine one. Will let you know wat happens.
