Hello all,
I'm at my wits end so I'm hoping you can all help!
I have a 2006 Range Rover Vogue TD6. About 6 months ago it starting developing a problem (first noticed on a motorway drive) where it started lacking power. My foot would be to the floor up a gentle gradient and I would be slowly dropping speed. When bringing my foot off the pedal there would be a short sharp 'judder' which obviously rang alarm bells.
The strange thing was though that on some days there would be no issues at all.
The car was taken back to the garage where I purchased it and I left it with them to take to a specialist where they changed the fuel pump, fitted new injectors and renewed a wiring harness on the fuel rail as well as giving the car a thorough once over.
The problem persisted however and has since got worse. As well as the lack of power it now barely gets up a hill without stalling. My foot is to the floor with the engine at 3000 rpm and still it won't pull!
It has been to a automatic transmission specialist who drove the car and said he was certain it was not a gearbox fault so I bit the bullet and took the car to Guy Salmon who basically couldn't diagnose the fault but said that the ecu was sending unknown fault codes back to the computer that they didn't recognise?
Could it be an ECU fault or something more sinister? Or maybe something simple that is taking a lot of time (and money) to find?
Any help appreciated!
