Faulty Freelander
Gordo:
I was out getting the Freelander muddy yesterday, and when I got back on the road I was lacking power.
Accelerating up to normal road speed, I seemed to lose power just above 2k revs (it's a Td4) meaning a top speed of ~50mph. Switching off, letting it rest for a few minutes and normal service appeared to have resumed, but the car started giving the odd judder, and again no power above 2k revs. No dash warning lights either (and yes, the bulbs are working!).
My thinking is that it could be a turbo issue, because that comes in around there. I'm hoping it'll fix itself while I'm at work, but I'm not holding my breath :-k
Anyone else had this? Any suggestions?
...and I'm supposed to be having my first advanced driving lesson next Saturday :(

Any black smoke when it judders?

I'm told that there were a couple of puffs of black smoke, yes.

May be the EGR valve sticking but the most likely is the MAF sensor gone west. ;)

Wouldn't that throw up an EM warning light on the dash? Even if it should, we are talking about a Land Rover, so maybe it won't!!
Ours started running in 'safe mode' which limits the revs. Sounds like that's what yours might be doing. But ours showed a warning light.
