Whilst travelling on the Motorway last night in fast lane. All engine revs died and car cut out.

Horrendous driving conditions. Just about managed to pull over to hard shoulder. 1.5 hr wait for RR assistance to recover car and take me home.

RR tech arrived this morning at 8.0 . 12 faults on ECU. Car been recovered to supplying dealer GS at Coventry.

Spent 55k on this 3 weeks ago and they want me to take a Freelander as a loan car.

Never mind, i'm sure the dealer will get you roadbound in no time. As for the FL2, just another of life's great experiences, it could be worse they could have loaned you an X6  L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

Sorry to hear you broke down. My TDV6 ( 5 weeks old too) is with the dealer to look at Gearbox fault warning light and one misfire whilst on the motorway. Wonder if the misfire is related to your issue? Do you know what the fault codes are showing?

it's good you managed to stop safely. Could have ended up a lot worse, did you lose power steering and brakes?

Sorry to hear your RRS problems - if it's any consolation this tends to happen to some on their new car and once fixed it's fixed for life. It's usually sticking EGR Valves. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

I'm sorry.
Always the same problem with new engine and cars. I hope you forgive your RRS.

I had limited power to the steering and brakes.

The problem was whilst travelling in nose to tail traffic on a packed 3 lane motorway in horrendous driving conditions driving rain ect. The car went from a steady cruise to being restrected to not reving over 1k

So there I am with vehicles travelling all around me at the legal speed limit and I am restricted to 15 MPH within a instant. Very very scary.

I am about to file a incident report with the help of the police who attended last night.
