This is my fourth Land Rover product, but my first defender. So I'm used to driving along with one ear cocked for every rattle and creak. I usually put it down to my imagination e.g. is it pulling properly etc, but yesterday, my 64000 mile 53 plate TD5 90 did something I couldn't ignore.
On the motorway in the p***ing rain, it felt like the engine shut down and the engine light came on, none of the ignition lights, just the engine light. After about two seconds the engine came back online and the light went out, just enough time for me to notice and start to panic.
There has been no repeat of the fault today and i have driven through some puddles, but on my way home I stopped at the supermarket for ten minutes, when I got back it wouldn't start until I had relocked and reopened the doors.
I have noticed that when I pull up at traffic lights etc, for about two seconds the idle is a bit lumpy, after that it settles down.
Cas anyone else experienced similar problems?
I believe my air flow sensor is probably nearing the end of it's life. Can anyone give me an idea of symptoms for this?
