Hi everyone, I’ve recently bitten the bullet after years of pining for a Range Rover Sport and traded in my much loved but outgrown focus for a Range Rover Sport. I found a dealer fairly local to me and got a really good trade in for my focus. The Range Rover is 2009 2.7 with 84,000 on the clock. It’s came with a years Mot, service, 1 years breakdown cover with the AA and 3 months warranty. The car has been well looked after and in immaculate condition. Ticks all theboxes for us as a family, safe, higher up the road, bigger boots space for all thosefootball matches and holiday trips etc etc. Anyway it’s been a pleasure to drive until 10days after I purchased it. I knew buying aRange Rover meant higher running costsand I had heard about the electrics but Ididn’t expect to have the engine failure message come on whilst driving homeyesterday. Range Rover went into limp mode and poodled home at about 30mph. When Ipulled up on the drive I switched the engineoff and restarted. The error message wasgone??. I driven in it today several times andit’s gobe into limp mode again. Again I pulled over restarted the engine and the messagesdisappeared and car was restored to full power again? So basically no error codes arebeing stored and vehicle seems to correctitself on a restart. I can’t however copedriving like this it makes the car feelunreliable constantly worrying weather I will make it from Ato B. I’ve contacted the dealer and they are more than happy to take the car in and try to get to the bottom of it.Trouble is they said with no stored errorcodes and it happening intermittently theRange Rover May perform perfectly whilsttheir mechanics are in receipt of it? Anyideas or thoughts on this? Took a photowhilst it was in limp mode earlier.

Indeed and couldn’t agree more , know it can be frustrating as hell, can get an error plug my diagnostics in, no fault codes and that’s using an iid
Then find using the live data extremely helpful , even read that a cheap bulb can cause an error
Think the new fender will be a lot of fun

Sorry Gary BUT @Marnie ignore ALL posts telling you to do hard resets or anything else. You are still under warranty. Touching anything can give them an out. Get it straight back to dealer. Video the drive there in case it kicks off , en route.
Leave it with them to investigate. If they find nothing and it does it when you get it back, do not switch off, before videoing it.

Under warranty, take it back to the dealer, the vehicle is not fit for purpose and you are entitled to a refund if they cannot fix it.
