Hi all

Something odd just happened to my Hippo
Lets get the facts in order
When i drove of this morning half way down the road i heard a clicking noise, just 3 fast clicks
Thought it came from the engine but nowt else happend so convinced myself it can from the rear. got a commercial with bulkhead and gear on shelving
Drove about 25 miles to near Huntingdon, did what i had to do and came back
Left the A14 by Thrapston heading for Stanion/Corby and on the hill i noticed a sudden loss of power. No noises or other indication of something going wrong.
I figured my turbo had packed up remembering the clicking from earlier
Carried on taking it easy towards home stopping at Corby Halfords to pick up a Heynes manual which should come in handy fixing whatever problem it is
Spend about 10 mins in the store, went back to my hippo started it up and presto... no problem running as it should

I have no idea what to search for so i went ahead and posted this

Electrical fault maybe?
There was no smoke, no noise, no warning lights just a sudden loss of power

I did check the fuses in the engine bay fusebox just in case summit went there but all OK

I'm stumped

Sounds similar to what happened to mine recently. Did it feel like it was misfiring? By the way, mine is a TD4 auto.
No trace of anything wrong or fault codes recorded and no lights on dash.

Or is it no power at 70mph?
 
Noticed it at 30 mph up a hill

No turbo boost
Couldn't hear it at all and struggling to get up to speed
Cruising along and no power when wanting to speed up
Slowing down up hill and no misfire
