Sounds to me like the CO2 sensor in the exhaust pipe, aka Lamda Sensor. I had similar with a different vehicle. I could be wrong but that's what it sounds like to me. If it's not the sensor, it could be the fuel mix. Check the sensor first...

There were a couple of P38s on our weekend trip. One of them (owned by a guy with at least 6 of them and a L322) had been decatted and had some "resonators" (or what ever) fitted to the exhaust... it sounded like it could climb Everest while towing a Jumbo jet. It was a nice piece of kit, and of course they have the viscous transmission, so they're almost as good as a Freelander! Everyone was having a great time, until I told them that I was averaging 43mpg for the trip - the V8 guys soon went quiet and started crying into their beer then.
