I must admit that I just went back to work and left the car to land rover assist, to be honest the chap from land rover was very good and got here in 45 mins, he said that the computer had some sort of hissy fit, a bit like me when it went wrong. He seems to have sorted it now but has left me his name and number just in case it plays up again. I guess I over reacted a bit but after the trouble I had with my first two discoveries I thought here we go again, they broke down so many times I was on first name terms with everyone at land rover assist!

tell me about it! (see my other posts about reduced power mode) After a lot of fuss and repeat s/w patch "fix" it was a simple mechanical gate that directs flow between the turbo's. Took 6 months to find this out so you may want to start there good luck. (p.s. mine is now fixed and fantastic at 40,000 miles) My 2010MY RRS 3.0 TDV6SE is Nara Bronze with Almond leather, straight grain walnut trim, 20" 15 spoke alloy's, mood lighting and power fold mirrors Gone |

the cable which controls the cooling fan was disconnected in mine causing it to overheat, it never went to official limp home mode but felt like it. Again something simple to check. ============

It hasnt got DPF's has it ????? as they throw soooo many spanners in the works. My XF was in & out of the workshop to have the DPF faults cleared so often that it was a joke so I threw in the towel, I also had the turbo solenoid problem on it a couple of times, the fault would clear at re-start, but give it a kicking and as soon as it wanted the second blower, "computer says no" 08 2.7 RRS "S"

The sport, thankfully, went well yesterday, just over 400 uneventful miles, just two very small complaints, tyre noise from the conti's on the motorway and my road angel cant get a signal through the windscreen, moved it from the middle to the right side where there are no wires and it seems OK now. Oh and I really must spend a bit of time changing the settings on the satnav it drove me mad yesterday.

I've noticed people seem more inclined to let me out in into traffic in my RRS, far more so than when I had a BMW.
