freelander 2.0l diesel fuel prob?

Hi, wondered if anybody out there could help me. I was on the motorway last weekend, driving along no problem when the engine started to jump, like i was running out of fuel, i let my foot off of the accelerator and the problem stopped temporerily. I carried on driving at a reduced speed ok for about 20mins when the problem started again, once again i took my foot off of the accelorater and problem cleared, 10mins later problem started again more violently, enough to make me pull into the hard shoulder, after 5 mins rest pulled off again ok for another 5 mins then stopped again with the engine managment light coming on. At this point called the aa and got a tow home. When i drive it round town now it runs ok, but as soon as i go on the motorway and start travelling at speed problem starts again. I dare not us it on long journeys anymore. Can anybody help me please? Thank you.

What year is the car is it a TD4 or L series will possible say its the fuel pump but need to know year 1ST cheers tiga

if its a td4 read mings tale of woe, the problem went on for some time till it packed up ,this was a fuel pump in the tank, but I got a lot of good advice from the Tig and the Zip if i would have taken it to main dealer they would have spanked me, as i was new to Freelanders went through a quick learn curve,but glad i got the good advice first. . .

As Ming has already said, your problem seems identical to his, his fault only occured on a run and not in town. his was the fuel pump which proved to be faulty.
