Just got my tdv8 sport back from a service, on the way home could not go as faster than 50mph and the car sounded like is was missing and dash reads engine fault !! After speaking to the garage was told air in fuel system as they changed the fuel
filter ? and if i turn the car off and then re-start let it run it will clear its self is this correct ????

That doesn't sound right to me!
How far did you get before it started doing that?

about 10 miles

that don't sound right.... What happens when you open your fuel cap and expose the fuel to air prior to filling up..?

Split turbo hose, possibly. Quite common on TDV8's.

Good news is its an easy, and cheap fix

turbo pipes all Ok !! but all is well then for no reason the car reads Engine Fault and has now power, if i park up go back to the car start it up and again it runs ok with no fault, its had new battery & alternator, the garage have plugged it in and no fault found. But as usual the car is fine when at the garage which drives me mad. Great car but will send me to a early grave.

1: Turbo pipe is not properly fitted, maybe the tiding collar is untied
2: or a sensor from the engine is gone and costs about £700



Let me know if I was right

give over, £11.08 each from an indie, genuine LR parts as well, ive just had mine done 07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))

They have come down in price in the last few months then

To be fair, he did quote me £18 at first, but when it turned up, that was how much LR had billed him, plus the VAT 07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))
