Help
I'm really struggling with my 2010 3.0 Range Rover HSE.
I have had the car for three years. It's only done 51,000 miles. It's got a full service history and I have never abused it!
Before Christmas the car very occasionally started to go into restricted performance mode. When restarted the fault seemed to go away. I took it to my local Landrover independent who have a good reputation. They said it was an air-flow meter issue and changed the part.
Two days later the battery went on the car, I put this down to coincidence and changed the battery. Next day the restricted performance light came back, plus a vehicle stability type warning. The fuel indicator also constantly showed empty.
I had the car recovered to the same independent. They changed the fuel sensors in the tank. They also changed the active roll bar. This cost about £1500.
The next day I drove the car to work. In the outside lane of the motorway the car lost all power and gave a Engine Systems Fault. It went into limp mode and would not do over 1000 rmp. Luckily I was near the slip road and limped off the motorway. I stopped the car and after 5 mins re-started. No warning lights and the engine was fine. I drove the remaining mile to the office and had the car recovered (again) to the independent. I tried to drive it onto the transporter, but after standing for a few hours it would not start. The starter motor just runs to no effect.
The Landrover independent have had the car for 3 weeks. They can't get it to run, claim it's getting no error messages, they have never seen anything like it.
They initially said it was electrical, they seem to have discounted that after calling in an electrical engineer. They then blamed the exhaust, then the turbo. They have now discounted all of these! They are beginging to talk about it now being mechanical.
I'm beginning to lose faith in the garage. I know it's a long shot, but has anyone ever seen anything similar?
Im really struggling as it's the families main car.
