if it's only happening after a bit of use and the engine could still be warm i'd try the cam position sensor. won't happen first thing in the morning as engine is cold.

try spraying the cam sensor(in front of oil cap) with freeze spray available from toolstation or any plumbers merchants costs about a fiver. i had this trouble with mine. you could also check out roverrons website it's full of good advice.

sorry to hear that mate i'll keep an eye out. f**king c***s want strung up!

i'd say it's the cam position sensor. i had this trouble on my freelander. try freezing the sensor with a can of freeze spray used by plumbers. the sensor is just infront of the oil cap and it wont need removed. it's a quick fix and will get you out of trouble until you buy a new one.

thanks chaser, i think this is one thats out of my depth then. i noticed your in cheshire do you know of any decent garages in the north west that won't "take me for a ride" pardon the pun!

my td4 2001 seems to rev ok up to 2500 but then revs fast with no power, which can be nightmare when planning to over take. The car will pull away fine and no problems with gear changes. it just seems to lose power and rev after 2500 revs as if the clutch has been engaged!!! any help would be great.

any ideas the cheapest place to get a cam position sensor for a 2001 td4, new arrival to the family is draining funds but unreliable car will evidently cost more!!!

after alot of frustration and head banging i've finally sorted the hot starting problem on my freelander. big high five to chaser and ming and roverron you guys really are clued up. cam sensor was the cause i've had to spray it with a freezer can for now but at least i know how to sort it...
