Range Rover Blues:
Mine started doing this too, after I changed the dizzy cap and arm.  Trouble is it does it under high load, so you think it's fine unitll you are halfway past something then it runs out of go, still smooth just gutless.

Its pretty well doing it all the time now, its just no where as noticable on level graound, but the chug is evident.

daveyravey:
Did you change the rotor arm lately ? If so there are a bunch of faulty, read cheap units in circulation. Dunno if they've found their way to your shores tho'. The faulty ones are shiney black with a "brass" rivit in the top. They break down after a while & short out through the dizzy shaft.
If that doesn't work, try bypassing the temp sender for the fuel as mentioned by petergalileo. Take off the plug & push an opened paperclip into the contacts bypassing the sender.

Range Rover Blues:
I'll have a look at that sender, because for some reason mine has a resistor in parallel with the resistor and I remeber diturbing it when I fitted the new dizzy cap and arm.

I have replaced the ol arm and it's no better.  Havn't had a chance to checkout the old cap again yet, maybe tonight...

.....no, I can't, it's life on mars :D
