So I've got a massive headache with my 2011 Freelander 2.
A few weeks ago while sat with the engine idle it randomly stalled itself.
I put this down to a knackered battery as it started with a jump. Replaced the battery and all was fine.
A few days later the engin had a stutter then died. Pulled over turned off and on and drove fine. It did this again while driving at 65mph.
I read the codes and P0336 crankshaft sensor came up so changed for a Bosch part. Same issue still persisted so changed for a genuine LR part.
Again same issue...
The plug felt like it went on a little too easily so I then changed the plug to the crankshaft sensor, again no luck. Changed fuel filter with no joy.
Now through all this it has been starting fine and doing school runs fine but whenever under any load wall just stutter and die.
Spoke to a auto electrician who suggested changing the cam sensor. This seemed to solve the problem, gave it a good thrashing up and down the bypass for 30min no issues.
Went to tow the caravan this weekend and as soon as I got on the bypass the stutter and stalling started again obviously with kids in the car it's a absolute nightmare.
Same code P0336 no other error codes have come up.
At a bit off a loss as to where to look next, any help greatly appreciated.
Starts first time and drives around the village fine....
