Vehicle has done 78k miles and in showroom condition, full dealer service history.
Just had full scheduled service, including belts.
Have experienced amber warning light illuminating intermittently over the last 9 months, but fault clears when vehicle is locked and left for 10-15 minute. It will then not reappear for weeks.
However, last Friday, days after picking it up from the service, I experienced a coolant hose failure. Red warning light illuminated, accompanied by message saying coolant levels low. Vehicle recovered to garage that did service and new hose fitted.
When I collected the vehicle I was told of a warning light, apparently it had now gone into restricted performance mode. However, the warning had cleared itself when I got in and started it up?
A few days later set out on a journey and 10 miles in put my foot down only to observe the red warning triangle illuminate and the message restricted performance message come on!!!! grrrrrr Again car was shut down, locked and left for 30 minutes. When restarted the fault had again cleared and I got home without any further issues, a journey of 35 miles.
This morning short journey without issue, shut down but stayed in vehicle for 20 minutes waiting for daughter, when restarted amber warning light illuminated! No baffled! Commenced return journey and performance was fine until engine was put under load going up hill, at which point RED warning light illuminated and vehicle went into restricted performance mode. Now have vehicle with both the amber and red warning lights illuminated and operating in restricted performance mode. No other symptoms, no nasty noises, apparent leaks or smoke etc...
I have arranged to take to Land Rover, but am concerned that they will put me through the ringer before finding the fault(s) and just wanted to know if others had experienced similar faults, any help/advice/guidance would be appreciated!
