Hi,
I don't know if any of you guys can help as I'm not having a lot of luck with my local garages but my 04 Freelander Td4 is running like a bag of!!
Basically the problem started when it started revving itself when idle up to 2000 revs (this could happen when it had just been started or running a while), then it developed into a dead spot when driving (at any speed) if I kept my foot on the accelerator it would finally accelerate, then it developed into a rapid loss of power when I came off the accelerator (mainly at lower speeds) making for a lumpy drive and now the revs just drop right down and the engine warning light comes on (the car has also cut out a couple of times when driving or when briging the clutch up).
The problems are intermittent, sometimes it drives great then others times I want to push it off a cliff but things keep getting worse. I have had it in a few garages and they don't seem to know what it is. To date I have had an injector replaced, filters replaced, a sensor (dunno what for) replaced, off and on the diagnostics machine and now there talking about a fuel filter, which were done about 3 months ago when it was serviced I am no mechanic (far from it) but I would say this can't be a filter surely???
One has also mentioned the turbo???
Can anyone offer some advice as I'm sick of throwing money away and being stuck with no car?
Thanks
