Dealer reflashed transmission and engine ECUs - haven't noticed it since. Definitely felt gearbox-related to me.

Having done a 450 mile trip on motorways I have to say that mine feels engine related. On very light, trailing throttle, at 80 mph it almost 'misfires'. I cannot see what transmission action would occur at that speed unless for some strange reason the lock-up is disengaged. Car due into the dealer this week, if they ever call to arrange.

7500 miles on mine no issues bar a battery change and FBH module on recall Far to many gone...

Problem solved after four abortive trips to the original dealer - took car for its first service (at 19k miles) to a different dealer, this time, and described what I had been told by first dealer (fault causing the gearbox to hold onto the wrong gear for too long and thereby creating the "stuttering effect").

New dealer noted the fault when they took my car for a test drive (thank goodness), hooked up to land Rover who referred them to a Technical Bulletin which addressed the problem and LR recommended a particular download.

Apparently the problem is with the injectors and not with the gearbox. The ECU is giving some faulty info to the injectors which, I assume, cuts the fuel momentarily. The upshot is that (1) the car now works fine and (2) there is a known fault out there!

Good to hear its sorted Just out of interest which dealer fixed it ? 2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB

Reflash on my car cured the problem too. Have driven about 2500 miles since and all is well.

Jez, the dealer was Farnell in Leeds who did a cracking job. Done another 100 miles and no sign of that dangerous stutter

i have the same problem too
not all the time but with the experience i have with stratstones i am always worried to take it in because it comes back with more problems

just had the flash done.
according to the bulletin, the problem experienced has occured at between 62 and 90 mph, in gears 6,7 and 8.
the relfash should cure this.
if it also cures the problem people experienced slowing down for junctions (not that I did...), then it's a win win all round.

What is a relfash ? My '11 TDV8 has exactly same problem, going into the dealer this week for new pads, what do I need to ask for to get the "cure" for this at same time. Does anyone have a LR reference for this matter so I can point dealer in right direction. Thanks

Have you thought about a proper Remap, not one of these e.bay £100 jobbies? One day your life will flash before your eyes......................................make sure yours is worth watching!

and when decelerating gently from around 85/90mph to, say, 70mph, there is a short stuttering somewhat like fuel starvation. It only seems to happen when you have been doing a constant speed for a while and then you want to slowly decelerate
