Mine did the same on the wife yesterday morning, changed fuel filter 10 month ago when the reduced power warning last came on. Spoke to North East 4x4 and stratstone and I have changed the filter again this morning.

Mine is certainly not cold related, neither has it affected the starting. Not sure it's fuel related yet. Hope so, as this will probably be the cheapest option of changing the fuel filter, yet again. If it's the case, simply not good enough. Considering the high price we now pay for fuel. What neck of the woods are you from? I'm from guis. You didn't buy your last batch of fuel from Sainsburys at boro, did you? That's were my wife filled it up, last night. Landy has now gone. |

Hi. Just had same problem today. Reduced engine performance, orange engine warning light. LR Assist diagnosed bunged up fuel filter. Replaced filter and back to normal. Excelent service by LR Assist. Only done 12k SD4 from new so would not expect this. LR guy mentioned dodgy fuel and biofuel content. Something definitely not right with fuel in the North East given this and others experience. |

I changed my fuel filter about a year ago with one bought from Unipart (local to me and I wanted it quickly). After about 2 months the car repeatedly went into REP mode. I would stop, switch off and restart and all would be well until next time, usually when I was at large throttle openings. No codes. I changed the filter for a second time with one from Dan at Duckworths this time, and no further trouble since. When I took the dodgy filter off, the drained fuel looked like one of those 'snowstorm' ornaments, it was so full of what looked like disintegrated filter paper. I have read that there are a lot of counterfeit filters out there and I am I convinced I had got one of those. Anyway, no further problems. I think I will get all my filters for Dan in future! |

Had reduced engine performance light come on last Saturday. Had just filled up at BP Garage at Wolviston by the A19. Managed to limp to destination and called Landrover Assist out.

Had a recall notice by TVLR 3 weeks ago for problems with fuel and existing filter, done under warranty, no more problems since. Tony |

Must admit I am a little bit concerned about these "filter failures" We have been LR owners for over 10 years now with the newest being a 1997 Disco. I have always tried to service it twice a year and so far not had any filter problems. Not a FL2 owner at present but will be picking mine up in a few weeks time. I live in Hampshire so the chances of having any Teeside fuel are slim. Must agmit though supermarket fuel has to be a lot cheaper than fuel company fuel before I will buy it. I am buying a FL2 because due to a stroke I am not so fit to be able to do my own maintenance so it will be done by an independant.

Add me to the list of reduced performance as well. Just come on, and can only attribute it to filling up from a Gulf station which in hindsight has been known to let the forecourt tanks go low as well.
