Hi.

Can any one help? I have a 1998 L series Diesel freelander. When i get to around 3,000 rpm the engine starts to splutter and blows out smoke and i get a big power loss ( it's like it got a rev limiter at 3,000rpm). I have chaged the fuel filter but it's still the same. It was running perfectly well with a full tank of fuel when this suddendly started to happen.

Thanks

Dazzer.
 
It could be the air filter, worth checking as it needs to breathe. I have the 2.9l 2001 diesel and when the engine started behaving erraticlly at just under 3000rev Land Rover told me to bring it straight into them, they rebuilt the engine under warranty, it had done less than 40,000 miles.

They are great when they work but when thye go wrong are a total nightmare.

Hope it all works out well for you.
 
I have tried that and also the air flow meter and still no change.:(

Thanks for your input though.:)

Still open to any other idea's.
 
Just to let you know i have solved the problem.
For furture reference i cleaned the pickup/sender unit in the tank still no change then i cleaned the small filter inside the bolt on the top of the injector pump and bingo back to normal
