Amber engine light on

Yesterday my amber engine light came on. I called Landrover Assist who sent out the AA. They plugged in their machine and got fault code PO340 which is 'camshaft position sensor'. They cleared the code and because it did not come back up again they have said it is OK to drive. The car is going into the dealer next Mon.

Has anyone experienced the same problem? Big Cry

Often a case of not having to worry - even though my RRS has been the most reliable of cars - it does however show the most fault codes which most of the time reset after a turn off/on - or if they don't turn off, are always better after a nights sleep - and then a quick trip to the LR dealer for a check always reassures me.

So rest easy and all will be well I'm sure...

my mates MY07 flashes up "Water in diesel" stealer says dont worry, probably just a sensor fault. Why do we have this fantastic diagnostic tool and faulty sensors? purple people eater

PPE, that is one to investigate - there is a water trap in most diesel engined cars to protect the injection system form damage by water. The fuel pump is lubricated by the diesel and any water in the water trap will need to be drained before very expensive damage is done to the fuel pump and injection system. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

EML keeps coming on with my G4, so it's in having that looked at (amongst other things) at the moment. Fault code's saying it's running lean, but the dealer's don't believe the sensors so are checking them first.

At 17mpg I don't *think* it's running lean Laughing Ex-G4 Challenge RRS HSE, BV55 YZE. Subtle shade of orange ! Now registered YZE481 G4RRS in Melbourne.

Amber light keeps coming back to haunt me. Been back to dealer 4 more times. Sensor on exhaust ( ? ) . Center box on exhaust, spark plugs and now cat on rite bank. Cat on order today and they told me they will pick it up next week. Love the car to bits but is it a bad dealer that cant sort it once and for all or is it i am just unlucky? Big Cry

My battery light has just come one when ive been driving home just now. When i got home i switched off and then on again but its still there.
Any ideas, is it the battery on its way or the alternator or both. I will check in the morning and see if it has miraculously cured itself. i hope so.

I have heard of one case like this on an 09 TdV8 when a tensioner pulley failed on the secondary accessory drive belt. This belt only drives the alternator and the dynamic response pump. If the DR system wasn't working either (car will roll more on corners) it might be that.
