Hello everyone, Im really stuck and would appreciate any help. Ive got a 2002 defender 90 td5 pickup with the weirdest problem, when i start the engine it will rev up and run perfect but the second i put pressure on the clutch to put it in gear the engine light comes on and the throttle wont work at all. Ive been reading thru posts for ages and havent found a solution. I dont think its the potentiometer or the fuel pump thats causing this because i can jump it into gear in the low box without pressing the clutch and it drives around the yard fine. a friend of mine served his time on landrovers and he has never seen anything like it. Im miles from a landrover garage so just wanted to c what you guys thought before i go getting it towed to them. theres only 55,000 miles on it. thanks in advance.
