Freelander loses power at 3/12 thousand revs

grandmaster · Nov 22, 2007

Afternoon everyone.
As usual with new users posts it's a request for help.

R Reg Freelander XEDi

When the rev counter reaches 3 1/2 Thousand revs the engine slows down!, it does not cut out but does not pick up again until i remove my foot from the accelerator.

Now usually this would not be an issue as i don't drive that fast but this happened twice on the motorway and I thought it may be a bit dangerous.

Any help you could offer would be appreciated.

Regards

Grandmaster.

Is it turbo charged ? Possible a problem there if so..

does sound like a turbo issue. Collapsing hose ? F**ked turbo ?

grandmaster · Nov 23, 2007

As far as I know its not a turbo.
I think its an 'L' series engine if that helps.

Assuming for the moment its not a turbo what else could be wrong?

Would a faulty sensor cause that type of issue?

Thanks for the replies so far.

The 2.0l L series is a turbo charged sohc (unless its one of the earlier ones 98) have alooky under your bonnet, right hand side attached to the exhaust manifold......unless yours is missing that would definitely explain your problem

I'll have a wee look in my lunch break.

Thanks for the reply!

Edit---

I have attached a pic (crappy one I know damn camera phones!!)
Is the circled bit a turbo? it looks to small too me, but meh what do I know.

Any help is as always appreciated.

Aaahaaaaaa.

I got a work buddy to look at the hoses while I revved the engine.
The pipes collapsed at 3.5 thou.

We opened up the air filter box and did the same and nothing happened.

So looks like the air filter is to blame.

Off to buy one after work!!..

Thanks for the replies guys.

hoses are also a known problem - mite be worth replacing them as well

Thanks,

Are the hoses LR dealer only or can they be bought elsewhere?

would deffo replace the hoses - land rover main dealer prices aren't too bad for these, for Td4 one was £7.95, another was £23.40 (both plus VAT). One's a bit fiddly but generally okay to change
You could get a complete set of silicone hoses, but these will set you back about £110, look in the back of land rover owner for a lead to a supplier (can't be bothered to go upstairs to look)

Thanks for the replies.

Did a service on the old girl yesterday.

Going to price up the hoses tomorrow..
