I was wondering if anyone could help me!!
I have a 2002 Land Rover Defender 110 and she's done around 190,000 miles - good going I know!
However, recently when I start her up, after about 15 seconds she will cut out and then go dead for about 2 minutes before springing to life again. I took it to a specialist garage who couldn't find any faults with it at all and it was ok again for about 2 months. Yesterday, the exact same happened and the engine just cut out after about 15 seconds and it went dead. This happened 3 or 4 times and then didn't happen again. (This only happens when the vehicle is idle).
The only thing I could possibly think of is the immobiliser as the immobiliser light flashes on the dashboard when the engine is off or it could be related to the column switch. They're my 2 bright ideas.
Has anyone experienced the same and could comment on what it could be?
Many thanks
