My Freelander 1 TD4 has just gone past 92,000 miles.
She is fully up-to-date with servicing and a new auto gearbox around 80,000 miles.
The car is stock apart from a Synergy box. Premium Shell diesel always. I have found the car to be powerful and reliable, a joy to own.
I started the week, with a bottle of Wynn's Diesel Injector cleaner in the tank. Today, all of a sudden, on motorways, when I ask for more power, no more power seems available about 60mph onwards. No matter how fast or gradual I apply the throttle, the car seems very limp from 60mph, and does not want to rev at all. Won't get to, or above, 75 even on the level.
From standstill to 60, the car is it's powerful old self, literally charging like a train. It used to smoothly power all the way to 105 mph (verified by gps) which I occasionally did when it was quiet to 'clear the pipes' as they say. But now, from 60 to 75 is very slow, and 75 seems very weak and is currently as fast as she can be asked to go. Yet up to 60, she goes like a train.
My wallet is trembling. Can anyone suggest the most likely candidates for what has, or is, failing.
