Hi All,
Driving home last night, tried accelerating on the A5 through Milton Keynes and suddenly lost power. Engine warning light came on and engine went into limp mode ( max 40 mph) no nasty noises or smells. This is a 2 year old TDCi 2.2. Now sitting at Stratstone Aylesbury until at least next Thurs. Any ideas from the forum? All the best James |

Thank you Crofter.
Hadn't realised that the Defender was able to go into Limp Mode. Let's hope it is something as simple as that. Regards James |

Could be a sign the fuel filter needs changing.
Has there been any slight hesitation when a else rating and especially accelerating and moving off? Sometimes different brands of fuel doesn't help especially supermarket stuff. |

I hope to find out next week. nine out of ten times I fill up with regular Shell diesel.upside is I have been given a Disco Sport until the wagon is fixed. Will update you with the prognosis once we know what is happening.
Best James |

My 2008 2.4 does this periodically, it's been to an indie, it's been to Stratstone in Stoke and has even been looked at by an independent engineer..... Stratstone told me that it was likely to be the seals in the turbo (46000 miles) the independent engineer poo-pooed this and the only thing he could find was a smear of oil where the injector is....the last time it happened, I put the nano-com on it and showed an issue with a glow plug...Don't get any smoke, no excessive oil consumption....nothing, it's just a mystery!

Sorry I should say I do not know if it was limp mode. |
