HELP!! Bought a freelander today, and broke down on way home!

Hi all,

Right. Got the freelander today. After 10 miles the ECU light came on its with the exclamation mark in the middle. We lost power as went into limp home. Had the RAC out and the RAC said its fuel pressure sensor. He took light off and went on our way, however first sight of a hill and the power went. Light remained off, however we had no power on way home, revs went max to 3750 and we struggled to break 60. We stopped and re started the car, and it was again fine until a hill.

Any ideas??

Cheers,

A worried husband to an upset wife!!

If its got the letters R.E.V.O.R.D.N.A.L on it
yer gonna have trouble

Damn, it does!!! Right across the bonnet!

Anything else?? Lol

Rac said fuel pressure so it could be the sensor, fuel pump under wheel arch, fuel filter etc

Any idea on costs, and where to look for help?

Also, had a fault code of 1260 and mentioned something about pre fuel pressure sensor?!

the last one i had with similar symptoms it was fuel pump under rear wheel arch

Ok great, this has been mentioned. Any idea on cost?

£40 on plus worth getting filter at the same time

Was it a private purchase or from a dealer?

He was a trader, I called him and said to which he got very aggressive. Didn't seem bothered my wife and 4yo were in the car when it happened. Not sure on my rights, but will be calling CAB this morning!!

Read the "crock of ****" thread. It's all in there

From a trader, he has refused my money back and become
Aggressive!!

FFS!
Read the crock of **** thread.

He has 2 choices. It is unfit for purpose. All faults within the first 6 months are legally deemed to be present when sold.
He can either repair FOC or give you your money back.

Then contact trading standards.

Yep what he says.

Being aggressive probably means he knew of the problems.

trading standards threat will help quell any aggression.

Read the crock of **** thread - it's all in there how to do it and what to say and do.

Law is in your side with this.

He was a trader, found on eBay!! Very nice, once I asked for money back became very aggressive !!

Sorry, for some reason my replies weren't being sent - now I have repeated myself!!

I have today taken to a local landy specialist, said needs some tlc but he couldn't find the fault. Been fine all day, the wife takes to work on motorway and power goes. No lights, so the specialist can't figure the issue. Said could be pipes, but checked and couldn't see. Said fuel pump was ok. Any ideas as once fixed, car will be perfect!!

Could be a turbo pipe delaminated internally, blocking airway when needing most power

have u also done a search

ref p1260 fault code

http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/loss-power-p1260-code-92069.html

plus where abouts are u plse

I assume the basics have been looked at

battery condition inc the negative and positive leads, fully serviced, egr, crankcase filter , engine oil and filter

if u do some searches on here as the other guys have said u will find an enormous amount of info

Don't pay to fix it yourself, just contact trading standards , was it an ebay classified or a Buy it now
