Was on the motorway with empty Ifor Williams trailer sitting at about 55 - 60 miles per hour. On gentle acceleration I had Restricted Performance come up on the dash display. Stopped for diesel and when I restarted everything was fine. Spoke to my local independent and they said could have been a sticking EGR valve or MAF sensor. Next time I am down their way they will put computer on it and see what fault codes are logged. Anybody else out there have similar issue? 2012 MY 4.4 TDV8 diesel with approximately 60,000 on the clock. |

If it trips into restricted performance at 2500rpm, I would suspect the air change over valve may be sticking, but reading the fault codes would confirm this.

Next day I was sitting in the car parked with the engine running when DPF Full came up. Spoke to both Independent and Main Dealer - both recommended a 20 minute run - tried that to no avail. I now need a Forced Regeneration. I have only had the vehicle for about a month but my journeys are usually some length. Also noticed when I start the vehicle for a short time when it is cold and then stop it there is a smoke like emission from the side vent behind the nearside front wheel which is accompanied by a "funny" smell. Any ideas what this could be? Still really like the vehicle but I can see the honeymoon period could throw up a few issues! |

The smoke from the wheel arch is likely to be the fuel burning heater which will come on if it is below 5 degrees C and run on a bit if you have just travelled a short distance. That seems normal and while not nice e.g. if you are in a garage with a car emitting the fumes, is not a defect in the car. Only Range Rovers since 1988 |

Dave when your DPF (yellow) light comes on it's time to get on a bit of road and keep it at 50mph. You don't need the revs up, the engine management will sort it but it might need a 10min run at 50mph.

I would suggest its time t check your fault codes too sir... There is often an underlying fault that overfuels the engine, filling the DPF prematurely... |
