My 2004 V8 petrol rangerover has recently started to loose power and seems to stutter & shudder on random occasions. Thought it was a fuel issue after running it low but now even with a full tank it's still occurring and getting worse.
Any clues or tips would be appreciated.
Only on one occasion did it flash up engine management light but only for a second or two and it's not happened since not showing any issues when press the button to check systems.

Torque converter breaking up?
 
Ok cheers guys will look at gearbox fluid see if it's got any metal in it or if it's blackened.
Thanks again
 
could check your spark plugs as the cam cover gaskets can leak and fill the spark plug holes with oil causing them to short out as mine was doing a few weeks back. i also changed my plugs.

o2 sensor maybe, vacuum leak also but without diagnostics you are weeing in the wind a bit
 
At that age its well worth checking the cam cover isn't leaking and filling the sparkplug wells with engine oil. Both HolidayChicken and my 2004 4.4 have had this problem recently.
