Do you mean that the fuel gauge is mis-reading?

It is not out of fuel, as it was full before I set off and only covered 197 miles.

The car has not run out of fuel. I get over 400 miles to a tank and was full when I set off this morning. The issue happened at under 200 miles into my journey.

Does your gauge read empty, even though you know there is fuel in the tank?

I have contacted JLR Customer services and they advised it is not a recall issue to fix the corroded wires. The car has 2 independent services, so probably won’t cover, but can’t see why as this issue is not service related. 2010 3.0 TDV6 RRS Overfinch GTS

It was when it happened to me on a MY11 TDV6 and it was repaired for free. |

In March 2014, the car car was under a LR Approved Used Warranty but the repair was paid for by LR as it was a known design fault and covered under a Technical Service Bulletin. |

Hi fella, I got the 2007 tdv8 hse and had a problem with occasional cut out and into limp mode. Turn it off and restart and no problem til next time. Mine turned out to be the fuel filter but when in local dealership they told me to watch fuel gauge next time it cuts out and see if it drops to empty. Mine different because it was only filter but apparently it’s a good way of telling if it’s the sender or wiring to it in the tank because as others have said on this post. The car shuts down if it thinks it’s out of fuel. Hope this helps but sounds to be where you should be looking.im sure a plug in would tell you if there’s a fuel pressure or MAF sensor issue??. Incidentally, my Delphi set up acknowledged a fuel pressure fault but said I had high pressures when in fact fuel filter blocked was a low pressure issue. More specific diagnostic tools would probably have been more accurate?? If a hammer won't fix it.... It's electrical!! |

The car has now been fixed. It transpires it was just the connectors as per the bulletin for the sender unit. The car had between 1/4 and 1/3 of a tank, so even though the car is not supposed to be smart enough when the system detects the fuel light is on, it still seems to stop the engine.. Had a new fuel filter fitted and LR were kind to me with the price for both.
