Great news. Searching for my first Defender...and started just as Covid hit, so talk about timing.
5 months after starting the search I found it, and here is the details |

OP back again
Well sorry to report it cut out again yesterday - this time pulling out of the drive ! Same as before - lost power and eventually stalled. Started up again just fine Scanned for DTC codes - none triggered. All systems reported working So where to start ? Considering the VCV is a year old - and it’s on its original MAF and MAP - which of these makes sense to swop out first ? The forscan code reader has ability to take live MAF and MAP data - but I am not sure what I should be looking for ? Any advice and counsel welcome - TIA |

This does sound very typical of a faulty VCV.

A whole world of pain. 😂
Volume control valve, it sits on the fuel pump and regulates the flow of fuel up to the injectors. Searching for my first Defender...and started just as Covid hit, so talk about timing. 5 months after starting the search I found it, and here is the details |

I had similar issue. No power on accelerator, then loosing power and eventually cutting out almost always after traveling at a constant speed for a bit. It eventually got more and more frequent, eventually happening almost as soon as you left the driveway, so i had no trust in it.
Changed VCV and problem fixed, been fine ever since, but, always a but, its now very "lumpy" on cold, once engine to temp, all good and smooth. I had already done all the normal stuff (MAF, MAP, EGR etc) |
