Did a small roadtrip over the weekend - approx 360 miles - 1995 defender 90 300tdi performed like a dream, except about 12 miles from home i experience sudden power loss went from happy 70mph to unhappy 30 mph, no power through any gears at all really, pulled over tapped accelerator pedal but not much response - felt like fuel starvation or similar . left her ticking over for a few minutes to check everything, set off again and all was fine - didn't happen again rest of 12 miles home - any thoughts would be very welcome.
 
Sounds like ye sucked up some ****e fea the bottom o the tank!! were ye runnin on fumes?
 
cheers for reply - no not runnin on fumes - about half a tank left - did fill up en route from a BP - my thoughts were it could have had some ****e in it - sure it's only a temporary thing
 
I have just had exactly the same problem.

I was doing 50 Mph, and slowly my 300TDI lost power. I had to change down gear to prevent stalling. I managed on get home but at 15 Mph, in third gear and my foot flat down on the accellerator.

I started her after half an hour and all was OK again for a short while, but I felt the power loss again...

Did you resolve the problem???

Thanks,
David.
