Morning all!
My beloved money pit has now decided that if you hoof it in 5th around 60 it runs out of power and becomes a lemon for 15 seconds or so.
This also occurs when I downshift from 4th to 3rd for example to engine brake - it suddenly has no go.
For context: turbo has little play and the actuator moves freely. Fuel has a slight leak I believe at the pressure regulator as it seems to have some leak back. The fuel sender unit is optimistic at best, flagrantly untruthful at worst (stranded twice so far when it goes below quarter tank reading).
When having the headlining done the tech noted that the exhaust manifold was warped and blowing, so had a webbed replacement fitted, drove fine after that.
Truck has a Celtic tuning map and has had this since 2022.
Battery is 7 years old and due to the aforementioned leakback issue and resultant difficulty starting after standing, it has gone on strike and often needs jumping. It is on my list to replace just as soon as I dig out a kidney to sell, but fully charged starts the car just fine.
Any ideas? Hope the above is enough info on the state of the landy, maybe oxfam will step in to prevent Land Rover suffering, who knows.
