My 1994 300TDI defender 90 pickup keeps loosing all power. i think the best way of describing it is that it feels like the accelerator cable has snapped and therefore you cannot rev at all.
this has happened about four times in three months and it is happening close to home so before the engine is at running temperature. when it does this it plumes out blue smoke.
recently done head gasket and got the head skimmed. am aware that the bores are worn but if that was the problem then i feel there would be a constant loss of power.
checked fuel tank and the fuel is reasonably clean so that's not the problem. noticed once that the battery and oil indicator lights came on on the dash so replaced battery connectors and cleaned terminals. still no luck. also didn't replace fuel filter too long ago.
any suggestions would be handy. cant think what the problem would be.
