This has also been driving me mad since i got my truck in November...
if someone could 'Turn off' this fuel saving mis-fire/stutter.... they can have my money!

Everyone, are all your trucks on the standard LR engine calibration? (Not re-mapped)

And, does this issue stay if the software is remapped?

I had this problem, thought it was the MAF sensor, that was a waste of sixty quid. Car still does it (and always has), but I no longer have a problem with it

I'm on my 9th Td5. 1x10p and 8x15p. I've had the JE stage 2 map on 6 of them and this particular characteristic has been present on every one. I quite like it to be honest, don't even notice it any more.

Just coming from a 300Tdi, which... Never had and never has misfired.
I can't believe someone hasn't mapped/masked it of of the calibration.

It's not a misfire, as its a deliberate act performed by the engine management. I've no doubt the likes of alive or Pete Bell would happily take your dosh and do away with it.

I understand what it is and why they (LR) have done it.
Coming from an Automotive development background, its a very crude way of saving fuel.... but, thats what was done. 2006 (56) 110 Td5 Double Cab

Mine has an Alive remap on it but the stutter is still there.

Glad to know that's what it's meant to do, thought it was just mine playing up.
