Hello all.
This is my first Land Rover so please assume total ignorance. I parked up briefly and when I got back in the parking brake wouldn't come off. At the same time I noticed the fuel read zero, even though the tank was full. I think they are related. I had to pull the wire under the cup holder to get home. I then did a 1 1/2 hour motor way drive and often the engine would cut out but restart once stopped. It behaved for a good chunk of the journey and I think the fuel gauge was reading 60 miles to empty at the time and the low fuel warning went out.
So I need to get this sorted. I am in the Taunton area. I guess the first thing is to read the codes so I guess I am going to have to invest in a code reader so what should I buy?
Any ideas as to what I can look at to see if I can get it moving? I feel it is a communication issue. I can really only drive it a few miles because the engine misses and shuts off all the time.
Any recommendations for an reliable indy in the area? I'm not in a massive hurry as I have other vehicles but I need to fix it.
If I am going to keep a Land Rover I am going to have to learn a bit, I just wasn't expecting it to fail like this so soon. How naive of me!
