200TDi power loss when warm

Fizzy Pig:
Cheers for all your help guys. I hope I'm there now.

Looks like the tank not breathing is the problem. I had the stalling problem again today and decided to open the fuel cap to see if letting in air cured it. Only problem was.... Numb nuts here  :oops:  forgot he had just filled her up to the brim last night. So like a Little Britain comic sketch I got a vomiting of diesel all over me.

So after another shower and change of cloths had a chat to my local 4X4 centre now I have definite information. They said sounded like the fuel cap, but this was brand new from Landrover when I got the 90 as the original didn't lock.

Looks like they sold me a duffer and was probably the cause of my old fuel tank rupturing in the first place. We have have tried some mods using a drill so fingers crossed that's the end of it.

As you said beast5680 "never assume" My mistake thinking a brand new puker part from the manufacturer would be OK. Should have known by how bad they are at getting parts in when they say.

Cheers again all  :D
