    Fl2 2.2 black smoke after blocking off egr valve

    Finally blocked the egr valve (after driving around for a few months with half power ) & it's gave me back most of the power back on my 08 Freelander 2, but she's smoking black smoke every time I gun the engine (enough to cause havoc to other road users). I've read various threads about split...

    intermitant power loss fl2

    Hi Hippo. Don't know if you can remember my previous post (long time ago) but I decided to take my Freelander 2 off the road until last week& never did get around to sorting it. The problem was intermittent power loss when I accelerated. We unplugged the mass sensor which stopped the...

    intermitant power loss fl2

    I'll clean the sensor & see what goes. I'm assuming my brother checked the egr before he got onto the maf sensor but I'll double check to make sure. This is why I like this forum. It save's wasting a heap of money before finding the real problem. Very knowledgeable members & really helpful. I'll...

    intermitant power loss fl2

    EGR valve ok. (i think). However when I unplugged the mass sensor the hesitation stopped but power was crap. I still drove it to & from work 60ml round trip without any hesitation. Could this be the problem? Thanks.

    intermitant power loss fl2

    Losing power intermittently at all speeds in my fl2. Feels like fuel blockage. Anything else to be aware of with this problem on fl2?

    2 new alternator's & still not charging

    That's my argument exactly. They've been in contact (the dealership) & want to get the issue sorted so fingers crossed & I'll keep u posted. Thanks for your advice.

    2 new alternator's & still not charging

    Thanks for all that info. Sounds like your spot on & what I fear most as it could be a long drawn out process of elimination & leaving me without transport again. Yesterday I went onto the the dealership's website & left them a deserved customers review. Within the hour I had an email asking me...

    2 new alternator's & still not charging

    Thanks for your reply. My bro bought the same make of battery for £72 so yes I know they ripped me. Quite a large concern as well (EMG motors). I kept telling them to use the car & they would eventually find out what was happening as it was intermittent. I'm unsure whether to just get another...
