Well, I did have a problem with the ngine cutting out under load...here was my original thread...
http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/engine-cutting-out-under-load-found-out-its-snorkel-247810.html
I found out that the intercooler pipe was crushing under load and therefore cutting out the engine. So a few shiney alloy pipes later and all was well.
Well, until the weekend, as I was accelerating up a hill, and yup, she cut out again, off the gas, then back on, all ok, till again, she cuts out, off the gas, and back on with the same happening till we get to the top, then all fine all the way home, including hills
What I did notice is that the Turbo gauge goes into quite a large vacuum when it cuts out, so note sure if this is a tell tale sign of anything??
Anyone got any suggestions, as its driving me batty - have checked and changed all the usual suspects - lift pump etc etc, and just to confirm its a 1996 Auto with flyby throttle etc.
Also I cannot make it happen which is annoying if I was to actually take her to my local guy......
Can a turbo be faulty and not give out full power even though it is boosting at the correct pressure and no blue smoke etc, as its as if the Turbo is stalling??
