Never posted before so you'll have to forgive the lack of technical detail
My pride and joy (1995, 4.0 SE) has developed an annoying fault.
The car will start and run fine when cold but when hot has a very rough idle and eventually stalls.
Do 70 miles a day and dont notice problem until come off power when exit A1 so make lots of lorry drivers very miffed when cant pull away from lights
Car will not restart straight away but will eventually spring into life after a few attempts but will then stall again unless keep above 1200rpm.
Problem only happens when engine hot and will run OK if cold.
Have a sequencial LPG system (brilliant bit of kit) but problem occurs whether on gas or petrol.
Have had codes read by a friend in the motor trade and came up with cam-shaft sensor and 'knock' sensor fault. Both cleared OK and car ran OK when collected but stalled at first junction
Car has full service history and a 4 year old engine that has done 38k (usual bore liner fault) so have no reason to suspect any of the mechanicals.
Am sure its something simple but have no local 'experts' and the nearest "Independant Land-Rover Specialist' (and I use the phrase VERY loosely)turned me away as it "Needs its codes reading mate !"
Love my Rangie and dont want to loose her or pay someone several hundred pounds to fix a simple fault.
All replies greatfully recieved
Please help.
