Go to your local land rover dealer and get the ecu re atived propbley. they will tell you also the peoblem by the computer.  The ecu might be picking up the temp reading to early.

id be wary bout taking it to ur landy dealer,had a motor in a few weeks ago that had been back n forth to the local dealer  & had taken around £200 of the customer to put on the autologic & still couldnt cure the fault so wanted to replace loads of items to try n cure it,brought it in to my work & using the same autologic found & cured the problem within 20 min for bout £150 less

drum:
Just read it could be the air-flow meter either. This can cause hesitation when under heavy load.

Strange how you puzzle over something, but when you start talking it though with some one you come up with half a dozen idea. Well 2 so far :D

The Truck is under warranty but the problem has only happened since it last had a service. I don't have confidence in the main dealer. So my approach with them is to only give them warranty work, and if possible to go in knowing (or atleast having a good idea) what the problem is.

It could be the air flow meter but to be honsit i have never come cross alot of air flow meters going down. alot of places do say air flow as it will cost a small fortune to rplace or repair. the air flow meter is a strong little thing really, In your case get a fault finder on it and that should be able to let you stright away. if you where closer to me i would plkace my one on it for you. But you should pay out for this to find the right problem. As i thoink there could be a couple off things wrong with it like i said b4, but doing one might make the truck run alot better. as one thing leads into 2 or maybe 3 things going wrong.  becareful wher you take it as all mech" like to make loads of money out of poeple.

My money is still on the temp sender, but unfortunately I don't know enought about these TD5's yet to be 100%. I think I'll give it a wiggle, and check the connections, then if the problem persists, it's going to have to go back to the dealer.

I appreicate, what you both say about main dealers, and I don't trust our local one at all. However the truck is under warranty so if they want to replace the entire engine to fix the problem, that's fine with me, as LR are paying  :lol:
