Had a go in my MRS RRS today ,noticed that it had almost no power lots of lag and really struggled going up hills ,I took it to a non dealer landrover diagnostics guy today and he could not find antthing advised me to check if the diesel filter had been changed recently ,which it had 2 months ago .


Any ideas ??

I now this sounds straneg but its free, disconnect the battery for 30 mins.

Sounds like its in limp mode.

EGR Valves possibly, split turbo pipe....

Agreed.... really best taking it into a LR dealer for the full diagnosis. Very likely EGR valve as mentioned above.

It's always the EGR valves. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Yup had a dealer mechanic I know have a look today ,seems to be an EGR valve whatever that is.Hes gonna book it in for me .

Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve (EGR). Installed by Land Rover to keep endless stream of vehicles breaking down and needing parts/labour

PEDRO PETE have a look on m web site, i have a blanking kit available.

A lot cheaper to buy and fit than a pair of valves.

Update to the problem ,the cars been in the main local dealers since monday ,I asked what the problem was and they still dont know ,I find this incredible its a bloody car not a spaceship ,today I was advised it might be the turbo we have had no fault codes ,have to say I aint impressed and will be changing it on its return....

Unfortunately, most modern dealerships employ 'technicians' and not 'mechanics'.

In my laymans interpretation, this merely means that they (said technicians) only know how to plug in a computer to trap the error codes, and then they merely replace the broken 'sealed part' that the computer instructs them to with a brand new 'sealed part'. This includes the engine itself which these days are 'sealed' and run in on test beds before a consumer gets them!

No offence meant to any 'technicians' on the site by my generalisation, but I myself have been told that "there were no errors recorded" when previously reporting a suspension fault that several people saw and pointed out to me.

Sucess at last and surprise surprise ,it was an EGR valve all along .....still the dealer gave me a good deal !!!!
