Hello everyone,
I have a 2008 LR2 for about 2 years now. Recently I've come across an issue which buzzes me, I've looked throughout the forums but couldn't find exact symptoms as mine.
To make it quick, while driving, the car no longer accelerates, losses power, and if I press the clutch the engine shuts down. If not in gear, the car simply shuts down. Oil light first shows up, then the battery, but nothing else. Sometimes "reduced engine performance" shows up, but dissapears the next time I turn it on. I have to press the button again to shut down everything and only then the car will start but with no guarantees of how long it will run.
There were 2 times when water got over the battery and some electrical components (the abs computer i think), once in a car wash and once when it rained, and that's when I thought I knew the cause. However the issue showed up 2 other times when I got fuel from a specific gas station. I had the car once put on an universal car tester and it showed fuel injector 2 and 4 were faulty. With fuel from other gas stations I had no issues with the car however.
I am now going to make an appointment at a Land Rover only service, it's a bit far, 150km, hope the car arrives on wheels. In the meantime does anyone have any idea what's going on? Is it really the injectors? The gasoline? The electrical components not completely dry yet?
Thanks for the patience of reading this.
