Wales 2007 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 SW Tonga Green
Engine management light
Again my engine management light came on again yesterday , I'd driven about 100 yds, the light came on and it slowed to a crawl !!
I switched the engine off then on again and it drove fine , but the light was still on !!
Drove it today and the lights now out !!!
This is the second time this has happened !! Do I need a trip to the garage !! Argh !!! Big Cry Defender 90 Tonga green . My 2007 County .2.4Tdci puma .
Too many other Discos to mention, including a V8 petrol Disco3 and diesel Disco 3 !! ( All gone)

Probably not. We could speculate all day as to what it may or may not be. When it slowed to a crawl did you initiate this or was it in limp mode? There are numerous 'nuisance codes' P1103 being the most common that will appear, put a MIL (engine management light) on and then automatically reset after a few driving cycles. Buy yourself a cheap, proven fault reader perhaps like a Scangauge II and at least you'll have a vague idea what it is your dealing with?

If it did go into limp mode get to your dealer/independant or get your reader sooner rather than later. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

Thanks for that , yes it did go into limp mode !!
I've just called into my local dealer as I was passing and I've booked it in for tomoz morning !!

I'll let you know what they say , I've still a warranty on it so hopefully it'll cost them and not me !! 👍 Thumbs Up Defender 90 Tonga green . My 2007 County .2.4Tdci puma .
