Just driving back home tonight and got 5 miles away from home when fuel inject system flashes up and I lose all power, power steering, power assisted braking the works.

I've had the inspection cover off and bashed the fuel pump. But to no avail, I can't see any fuel in the engine compartment pipes or in the inspection filter dome.

Best of luck, once the cars running better you'll forgive the minor discretion! Might have a sore arse from the repair bill though

I've got 4 months used warranty left so hopefully will be covered with that. Bushy

If he is with the AA that is very possible!

AA man couldn't sort it out either, I'm trained as a mechanic and pretty much told him, he wouldn't be able to fix it lol.
So got recovered to local land rover stealers and now I'm waiting for the outcome.



I'll post updates when I get some info. Bushy

I had almost exactly the same symptoms as you describe on my TD6, only difference was if I left the ignition on for 2 mins with the fuel pump priming and did this a couple of times it would eventually start. Anyhow to cut a long story short it only occurred when the fuel was down to about a quarter of a tank. Happened a couple of times while I was diagnosing the issue. Turned out to be a faulty in tank fuel pump which was not siphoning fuel from the left saddle side of the fuel tank. Replaced pump and now its been fine. Obviously yours could be some other failure but thought I would let you know just in case it helps.

It's still at the stealers atm but they are changing the filter first, before going back to the in tank pump. Personally I hope it is the pump otherwise the warranty won't cover the filter, and I'll end up paying over £100 just to have them replace a 5 minute filter.  Bushy

If its the intank pump could you ask to keep the old one as i may have a use for it if thats ok??
