What diesel do you have , TD4 or L Series ? ___________________ http://landroveradvice.myfastforum.org The only believers are brainwashed !!
There are loads of reasons for this to happen , i think the cold weather side is a bit of a red herring though . Normal reason for holding back is a delaminated Turbo hose , but the list does go on , airflow meters and high pressure fuel sensor connections are also problematic , along with other things . My advice would be to take it to your local dealer and get them to put it on their diagnostic equipment where they will be able to read fault codes and run the engine up using realtime display to see how the sensors are behaving , this will generally cost around about an hours labout so expect to pay £80ish + vat . ___________________ http://landroveradvice.myfastforum.org The only believers are brainwashed !!
The guy from the garage said that this is becoming a common problem on the direct injection engines. He said that what happens is that the fuel isn't been retained at the injector so it takes longer for the engine to start over.
There are many reason for the above faults , low fuel pressure caused by various problems being the most common , i could give you a list but i doubt it will do you any good . Your best option is to go somewhere with a decent fault code reader and obtain the fault codes stored within the engine ecu , armed with this info you stand a better chance of finding the problem . If you have a running fault with reduced power and black smoke , check all of your turbo hose for splits and delamination , again this is one of the more common problems . ___________________ http://landroveradvice.myfastforum.org The only believers are brainwashed !!

Same advise really , get it into a garage who can read the fault codes and have alook at what all the various sensors are doing when the engine is running , if it is intermittent then that may be difficult . The problem here is that they suffer from various faults ( albeit not serious ) which will sometimes give you similar running faults . From your description it maybe an airflow meter fault but thats just a guess really ........... Sorry i cant be anymore help . ___________________ http://landroveradvice.myfastforum.org The only believers are brainwashed !!
The car is over revving when it is driven but the revs drop if it is revved up to 4000 but soon returns after driving. The hill descent light stays on, we have had this taken off once but it returned after a few weeks. It is so difficult to put the car into reverse gear, it has to be done very slowly and with force, I 'hate' reversing with this car because it takes time to get it into gear. Any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
i had the same problem getting into reverse and sometimes 1st,sorted now tho,apparently you cant bleed the clutches as its a sealed unit so you have to have the unit replaced but it only cost 65 quid for the unit and 25 to have it fitted. when i was told what it was i thought it would be mega expencive but lukili it wasnt
