Thanks - I think they have tested this, but I will double check with them
good luck! ;-)

Get yourself to a landrover garage maybe not a main dealer but a specialist
There will be something to see on an auto logic if you know what to look for surely

do you have fuses on the side of the battery life connector? Cracked solder joints? Corroded earth points?

Sounds very much like a bad earth to me.
I'd check all earth straps to engine and bodywork.
Get a set of jump leads, connect battery negative to the engine and then one from the engine to the body and I'll bet it works.
To be honest, I'd have no faith in the garage you're using if they're discounting electrical fault with the symptoms you've posted.

Bloody phone and airport WiFi conspired against me. Not sure how to delete it on my phone and it didn't appear to post first time.

Hi all
Thanks to those that have commented.
The plot thickens. It now looks like an injector issue. Despite not giving any errors. The first injector has been tested and failed, they are testing the others as they think all six have gone.
The mode the car went into before the original fuel censor fix, is designed to protect the injectors and cat.
The fuel tank was removed and drained to fix the censor. I'm worried that when it was refilled it's got contaminated with something that's caused the damage. Alternatively they have just suppressed the error and that's masked an underlying issue that has damaged the injectors.
The garage are being helpful. But the car has been off the road since December!
did they not do a leak off test on the injectors? Even loosening just a touch each injector nut just to see if fuel arrives at the injectors also a resistance test. Then after no real result the injectors are tested using a specialist machine.. As you now know.. Unfortunately, a lot of todays injectors being as sensitive as they are. They are not as robust as the older generation... Ive had two cars with failed injectors at 60,000mls.. A dear do modern cars..I hope at least you are now on the home run with this thing!
Thanks Mark. They have sent them to an injector specialist, they work electronically but will not pass fuel.
mechanically jammed, sounds like the little top hat inside that allows the lower pin to jump up letting diesel out!!! if they are of that type.. usually contamination.
your welcome ;-)

Be careful what you spend here. I found a lot of the 2010 plus models suffer from fuel filter sensor/ holder. This fault brings up the restricted performance & limp mode.
It's fitted under the bonnet on the left side above wheel arch.

Finally got to the bottom of this. The high pressure fuel pump has failed and damaged all the injectors.
modern injection systems are made of shïte..said it! Low mileage failures...unbelievable, how is more economical to run if it breaks down sooner? More economical for bloody who?
Rant over walking away... Sorry dude.
