Puma 2.4 exclamation light, cutting out and remap disappears

Hi all

Having a funny fault with my defender
The exclamation light has been flashing on and off for a few weeks I've changed pads I've topped up fluid and still continues. Could be sensor I will change this next
The landrover yesterday started cutting out when coming to a stop or pulling off. Low rev situations. Did it twice and was fine after that once turned off and on again. I also did some motorway miles in 6th gear. The vehicle was mapped before I bought. Had no idea but when I compared to another puma mine was much faster. After driving the vehicle in 6th gear for a short time the remap vanishes off the vehicle. Goes back to standard ish performance or maybe worse I'm not sure. Any ideas with what this could all be?
I had a 200tdi for 7 years and no trouble at all had a puma 1 month and it's already started Haha!

My advice, rip out the Ford engine and fit a 300tdi or better, V8 since diesels are evil apparently.

Sounds like it is going into limp home mode of sorts, I don't know what remap you have, a clever well written one will put the engine into sort of standard tune or less if something isn't right, it's a sort of stage away from limp home mode designed to save your engine basically.

I think the best bet would be fault codes now - see what is being recorded, can you take it to the people who did the remap - these guys, if good, will be as good, if not better at reading the results and potentially tracking the fault. Possibly even a call to them, ask them in what circumstances would the remap temporarily abate.
