Hi all,

Just had a 06 plate Freelander MOTed and since I got it back it is now very juddery at idle. So will sometimes cut out when I start it up but will normally start straight away afterwards. Any idea what will cause this before I send it back to garage

Sorry don't really no anything about engines, as much as I wish I did.

Cheers

Point taken.

Diesel. Whole body shake. 93-94k. Idle at just below 1000 and will shake like mad. Bring clutch to bite and settles likewise if in neutral and apply accel. gently it's fine.

If I remember someone did have an issue on an mot station on the brake calibration that messed up something... that was around a month to 6 weeks ago on here.. for some reason it's jogging my memory but not sure of the reason..

Just flicked back there is a few threads on the procedure and potential issues .. have a scout back to 14 June I think the thread is 2 wheel brake test ..

Do you think it's possibly not running on all cylinders until you rev it a bit? A person told me this happened to him (non landrover) and blamed the fact that they revved the nuts off it for the mot.

Yes but when he engaged the clutch its smoothing out discounting a cyl down
