I bought myself my first Land Rover back in the summer and have been going to various off roading events with it.
It's a Discovery 300 TDi with 160,000 miles on the clock and is generally a really good runner!!. However it has an intermitent fault which makes the engine cut off without warning, which has caused me to pull off some interesting motorway monouvers!!
It doesn't spluter or cough, it just completly cuts off!!! Once I pull over I turn off the ignition, wait 30 seconds to a minute, the engine will then restart completly normally and I can continue on. It only seems to do it every now and again, not on every journey and generally only once on any given trip. If I try to immediately restart it, the engine will just turn over, but won't start.
I have changed the fuel filter which was completly fine and it doesn't seem to be a fuel problem as it seems to be either on or off with no spluttery in between.
Somebody has told me that it could be the fuel solenoid??
Please help!!
