So I will never fully appreciate the way some of you feel about your landrovers because I see a car as a means of getting about rather than something you buy snorkels and chrome knobs for!
I NEED HELP PLEASE...My boyfriend has a Defender 90 TD5 which he has had for the past year although it has been in the garage more than it has been driven. This morning he phoned as he was taking the children to school that once again, it has cut out whilst going along. It doesnt give us any notice, it just stops, which I feel is obviously pretty dangerous.
He has had a new fuel pump, which for the past 2 months, has worked fine. The last two weeks, he had problems starting it so it was booked into the garage again for a week. It supposedly is ok but was advised to turn the ignition on, leave for a while, turn it off and then back on. He did this and it seemed to work (although the fuel pump is still noisy). Now it has started cutting out again.
Is there a thread on here that I can read and get some advice or is there anyone out there that has the same problem. It is his dream car and wants to keep it. I say we need something which is a bit more reliable but he just wont see it. Please help! Thanks in advance. It would be great to give him some advice though he probably wouldnt listen as im just a woman and dont know anything about cars.
