2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SW Zermatt Silver

Hi everybody!
Sunday while I was on mway, driving at 120 km/h, my 110 made a lot of smoke from the tailpipe, but only over 100 km/h, indifferently I was uphill or downhill.
Yesterday, while I was driving at 100 km/h, suddenly the engine lost power, as the turbine was off, slowing down in every gear.
I stoped immediately,I switched off and turned on the engine and everything was again ok, even if the engine did not run as regular as before.
The MIL light did not turned on.... Matteo

Today again, while I was driving at 60 miles, the engine lost power, I downshifted in fifth and the engine could run not more then 2000 rpm.
Only turning off the engine the problem disappear...
What could be???

2007 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 CSW Keswick Green

I got the software update last week when mine went in for a new clutch part - I couldn't notice any difference apart from a slight lag in power take-up when changing up to forth... this will probably become unnoticeable soon as my driving style will probably adapt to it.
I did notice the fuel gauge didn't move much over 100 miles though, but I was crawling on minor roads coming home from Somerset after the M5 was closed due to that accident with the power cables... it does seem to be more efficient at slow speeds! I'll know for sure if there is really any improvement when I next fill up.

2007 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 HT Bonatti Grey

I think i had this done last week because when i got the truck back it sounded a little more rougher in the sense of the engine was louder and definitely quicker the dealer said it had the new patch i just thought they had reprogrammed the old one Q068v2 again because it was in for a new gearbox, i'm back in on Thursday i'll ask NEVER TAKE LIFE SERIOUSLY. NOBODY GETS OUT ALIVE ANYWAY
