Good morning, I have a Land Rover Defender 90 XS TD and for some years now have been having a problem with it going into limp mode. This only ever happens on a long journey after I've been driving for over an hour. It then suddenly goes into limp mode with no warning and the orange dashboard light comes on. The problem can be solved immediately simply by turning off the engine and then switching on again immediately at which point the limp mode has gone and I can carry on driving. I've had it to various garages and it's been plugged in to various computers. One said it was the actuator (this was changed and hasn't made any difference); one said it was the EGR valve (changed, no difference); one said it was a sensor (changed, no difference). No one seems to be able to tell me why this is happening - does anyone out there have any suggestions as to what might be causing this. Apart from this problem, it's running fine. It's a 13 registration and has only done 56000 miles.
