RE: reduced engine performance failure lr2 - 6/14/2007 10:43:03 AM    VermontRoverGal Posts: 46 Score: 0 Joined: 6/14/2007 Status: offline I had this happen within the first two days I had the car.  I had just completed a four mile trip on a dirt road, thus the dealer concluded that it was a combination of dust and an engine not broken in yet (I had 55 miles on it at the time).  Hasn't happened again (knock on wood). Did the dealer download info from the onboard comp? _____________________________ VermontRoverGal-they can have my Land Rover when they pry it out of my cold, dead fingers!

We had 400 KM the time it happend , we only drove on neat clean paved roads. keep you posted, i will ask the dealer if this has to do with breaking in for VermontRoverGal (in reply to VermontRoverGal) Post #: 4

Albert Frederick, did you hear anything at all from the dealer as to the cause? I'm curious, although I haven't had it happen again.  But we're also staying off that dirt road for a while until she's completely broken in.   _____________________________ VermontRoverGal-they can have my Land Rover when they pry it out of my cold, dead fingers!

Went to a landrover experience day in Germany and there a mecanic told me that with the new software settings the failure should not occur again. (in reply to VermontRoverGal) Post #: 6

I'm  assuming its still running fine, and no more problems?  _____________________________ VermontRoverGal-they can have my Land Rover when they pry it out of my cold, dead fingers!

Question? Why would a vehicle built to handle deliberate off roading have problems with dust or dirt from a back road? There are less legendary vehicles that are not marketed as off road machines that would not have these problems. What gives? (in reply to VermontRoverGal) Post #: 8
