hey guys, so my FL2 has been, for a while now, going into limp mode, when i need to accelerate quickly or just need a bit more than the, usual power or even when just going up a hill, about half way up it limps and slows to a stop. but a few times it has just completely shut of and I've lost all power including power steering in the middle of a 4 lane busy tunnel. i was told a while ago that an aftermarket non LR fuel pump can cause such issues but i never looked into it, i just yesterday went to the local LR shop and asked his opinion and he said straight away sounds like a dirty fuel filter, but i don't want to spend the $119 on a new filter if that's not the issue. SO, has anyone else had similar problems?
 
Where are you based because you have put up $119 as opposed to £31.59 in the UK i an presuming your price is including the removal and re-fitting of the fuel filter, which 95% of owners do them selves it's not an hard job.

To do the job your self you will also need this tool to bleed the system before even trying to start the car.

So yes fuel filter could be the problem, especially if you have an after market one fitted, once they get hot they tend not to work or get blocked.

australia and no that's just the retail price of the oem LR filter, i was planning on doing it myself, i don't have that pump device but i was told to just fill it with diesel first and fit it that way, also i may have a sensor to fit and may need to drill a small hole into it first aswell.
