slugish td5

(1/1)

land-def-90:
hi a mate of mine has a td5 that has developed a fault ie it wont go faster than 35mph, no other clues, any ideas chaps :-k

Jimbo:
High pressure side of the (in tank  :evil:) fuel pump may have given up - when mine failed, the truck would start and idle fine, and get up to about 25mph...........it took me a while to realise that with the ignition in position 2, I could not hear the familiar whine of the pump as it builds up pressure !

Porny:
Failed pump (as mentioned) stuck EGR, seized wastegate on the turbo....

Or the Defender is in limp home mode for some reason (but the MIL would be on).
