Hello again,
My Freelander is a manual transmission, M47 Diesel.

The symptoms I’m getting are as follows:

Firstly, after a few hours on the motorway, it lost power with no warning lights on the dash.
Didn’t matter if I dropped a gear and revved it highly, it still slowed down on inclines/barley increased speed on the flat.
When I got off the motorway, I pulled over and switched it off for a few minutes. I then started it again and all power, was restored for the rest of the drive home.
Seems like some Vibrations/Rattling from the rear, in 4th and 5th gear around 40 mph + only whilst accelerating?
Sometimes hesitant acceleration, from a cold start, but in 2nd gear, with a little grey smoke, full power after this?
Sometimes takes longer to start, with a bit of grey smoke clears after a few rev’s though.
Another intermittent symptom has been that when you first start it, sometimes it pulls away normally in first gear but when I change to 2nd gear, the powers gone for a few seconds and it makes an unusual noise, then the power returns and it drives normally.
Since then I’ve taken it to the mechanic, he plugged it in and 1 code came up: P.1613
but he didn’t know what it meant?
He cleared the code and recommended a full tank of decent fuel, also adding a bottle of injector cleaner.
So I filled it up with Esso Supreme Diesel, and added a bottle of “Wynn’s Formula Gold” Diesel system cleaner.

Any ideas, information about the fault code would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance
