1999 TD5 defender 110,
I was driving on the motorway, up hill about 70mph with quite a lot of heavy stuff on board, sudden power loss and speed went down to 50, pulled over and had a quick look but couldnt see anything abviouse. Car starts ok and ticks over fine, and seems not too bad up to 50, if I stay at 50 it drives ok, if I accelerate it suddenly cuts power and drops down to around 50, changed the fuel filter as I found one in a local motorfactors (we were on our way to scotland) but the car was the same on the return journey even when empty.
I've had a trawl through and will check
1: MAP sensor
2: MAF sensor
3: Turbo pipes (can these suddenly delaminate?)
anything else I should look at
