Hi. Has anyone ever experienced your rrs running a bit rough on these cold mornings. Once the revs become steady after a few blips on the accelerator everything seems fine. It appears to miss fire at first (whilst blipping the accelerator) on the odd accassion Please help, all info welcome. Thanks

yes the other morning car started then cut out, did this 3 or 4 times. i had to flick the key keep my foot on the pedal for 30 sec then all was fine. but no problems this morning, Very strange

Diesel or Petrol? if Diesel you must wait for the glow lamp to go out - am sure loads of people don't......

Always wait for the glow lamp to go out. it was strange as it would not tick over.

I had the same thing late last year...
I initially though it might have been the injectors but turned out it was the EGR valves.
All sorted now though

Hi. It is diesel and I always wait for the glow lamp to fade out before turning the key. It's going in to landrover on Tuesday and was wondering if the fault maybe covered by the warranty? Also wondered what to expect in the way of cost. Little frustrated at the mo. Thanks for helping so far. All feedback welcome.

The problem is getting worse, ie the time for the engine to run smooth is taking longer. Nearly caused an accident! Once the engine appeared to run smooth from start up i left my house. Tried to pull out of the junction at the end of the avenue and even with my foot to the floor there was nothing there at all. my pants as there was a car heading down towards me. All of a sudden, it's as thoug it clears it's throat and picks up. As stated before. Once warm it's ok. Does this still sound like the EGR Valves as suggested by Alid32? All info will really help, my heart is sinking...

Not sure - both my EGR valves went last week and I was still on full power

I've been trawling the forums looking for 'stumbling start' issues on my SC. This monday morning, it occurred and then drivers airbag warning light came on and stayed on. Car is still with dealer. I'm told that there is a TSB on this. Software update also. Should get it back tomorrow so will post the results for other Petrol owners.

This is the same problem that i had, the dealer put it down to the EGR's...
It cost me the best part of £900

Let us know how you get on at the dealers.

Zoo has a 4.2 S/C - it's a different problem on the gasoline engined cars 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Mine is also doing this but only when the weather is cold and not too bad at the mo. Car is booked into the dealer to look at this and a couple of other issues in 2 weeks.

I had this on a TDV6 put new EGR valves and replaced two injectors that cured it but then it started again so changed the battery and it cured it so possible a voltage issue when it gets too cold!!

Hi, just a quick update on the repair work. Car been at main dealers since Tuesday and the feedback I received is that they have found the problem with the EGR valves. They tell me that this has sorted the fault........ the car still has other issues being ironed out but I'll be a bit more specific when I get the vehicle back.

still in the dealers since Monday - although I think it's because they are so busy that I doubt they have even looked at it.
