How do?

I came off the motorway today having done around 150miles in my 03 TD5 auto and sat in traffic on the inclined ramp upto a right turn on a bridge.

I had been tanking it a bit as I was late, but only up to around 65. I usualy don't do above 55.

When I pulled away at the bridge, the engine lost all revs and I pulled over as I thought it was going to stall. I tried to pull away and same problem so sat for a few mins, turned off the engine, re started and it was ok.

Shes got nearly 70K on the clock, runs as sweet as a nut generally and this is the first time its done it. It was around 4 deg.C outside, damp and foggy.

Now I know she doesnt like these cold winter days - is it perhaps i'd just over done it a little.

Any ideas?

I certainly hope not - I'm regularly doing 100+ miles with mine on the motorway with cruise control on 70. If I thought that 65 was too much for the poor little thing I'd give up......

That sounds familiar. Gutless and hills - it was these that led me to doing my own work on my Disco.
My guess is that your fuel injector harness is leaking oil into the ECU. Take a look at this link:
