Hi there. I'm a LR newbie and I'm based in New Zealand. 2004 D2 Td5 Auto.
After running well yesterday on a 300 km round trip up to Auckland, car starts to run rough as if its lost a cylinder, and then 500m later it just stalls and I coast to a stop. No dash lights or warnings. I run the fuel purge procedure* and it restarts. It seems to run OK for another 5kms before doing exactly the same thing again. I can get home, but it's not ideal!
*I guessed to do this because it did this to me about 2 years ago and it felt to me like a fuel supply problem. I had the local garage check out fault codes, clean fuel lines, new diesel filters etc. They couldn't find anything or replicate the problem and it has run perfectly since then. Until last night. I'd really like to get on top of this and I feel like someone out there has had this happen to them too.
Any clues?
