other week nipped of to collect my brother and family, pulled away ok, but the end of the street, stopped and the reves dipped and didn't want to raise, for a few seconds

yesterday, pulled up at a single lane bridge, stopped and the did the old i flash you flash with the car at the other end and when i pressed the accelerator, no power, revs didnt rise or anything, other car passes and i attempt again and move on

although that bridge is a PITA since they changed it, it was the bridge in Garforth it happened on Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I've got exactly the same issue (the hesitation/ not picking up)
Been back to the dealer a couple of times, doing an air path reset solves it temporarily...
No fault currently found, although the last time, they had the car for 3 days to do multiple road tests... Turns out they only did one road test but spent more time messing with my dashcam to hide the fact that the one road test was a thrash, so wouldn't have picked up a hesitation... Let's just say discussions are ongoing, as they didn't know about the gps tracker... 2000 Xei 1.8 gone
2004 HSE Td4 Auto, MT's, sump guard, sliderz - gone
2014 GS Man - AT's, Mantec Sump guard and tank guard, split charger in boot, towbar, work in progress...

happened again today, it was if the car wasn't aware that i was pressing the accelerator

will be speaking with the dealers soon to book in Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I've a similar problem, most noticeable when in Sport Mode. Press go pedal, pause, nothing then a sudden 'lurch' as the power comes on and I set off.
The fault is also noticeable when I press the go pedal when the engine is in overrun, when I want to pick up speed, there is the same pause then lurch as everything kicks in.
Been back to dealers with the problem once, and they did a software upgrade that seemed to solve the problem for a day. Its back in tomorrow, so I'll see what happens. Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018
Gone-1972 88 SWB Soft top
Gone-1981 24v FFR Lightweight
Gone-2009 Freelander 2 TD4 GS manual
Gone before it bankrupted me- 2008 Discovery 3 TDV6 Auto
2013 Freelander 2 SD4 GS Auto

I would wonder if the potentiometer was at fault? Back in the fold after 8 yrs. V8 Disco 300 series-Gone.07 Freelander 2 HSE Auto Rimini Red.
Gone.
2013 HSE Lux Havana ( Brown! )

OK,
Not one to let the grass grow etc, hoiked the beast down to the dealer today, got one of their Master Techies to take it for a run, what I thought was tyre noise when setting off is in fact the EGR unit- not doing whatever it is it does-what do I know? it would appear that this is the problem and is quite common despite the initial receptionist saying, "but you have LR assistance!!!" that's fine and dandy but when on Saturday I am wooshing down to the south of France, don't really want to be waiting for Pascal and his tow truck-
Apparently getting it back tomorrow- will update. when I get said beastie back.  Hit it he said, Hit it!--So I hit it, then he hit me---Doh!

worth checking that the brake lights are doing what they should. If the brake switch is lazy when you release the brake the ECU shuts the throttle of until the signal from the brake switch confirms pedal is released.
Much more noticeable on an Auto.
Ensure brake pedal fully release before hitting throttle.
Do check to make sure brake lights going off the moment you release the pedal, although some cars have a dual switch that can be defective and wont be seen through the brake lights.

EGR sticking most common for hesitation Jaguar x-type sport gone
Jaguar x-type 2.2d sport one of my best cars ever sadly gone
Freelander 2 GS auto 2008 most unreliable ever ! gladly gone
Freelander 2 GS manual 2013 only time will tell !

Evening All,
Just collected Beastie from the Dealer- New EGR fitted, no quibble, under warranty.
What a difference- hard to believe to be honest, a major change to performance
Suppose it is like a clogged artery, slowly getting poorer and poorer in ability until-wallop,
Valve changed, cleaned through system, just like new.
Impressed.  Hit it he said, Hit it!--So I hit it, then he hit me---Doh!

Time for an EGR bypass then so it doesn't happen again

Might be difficult for Maffy as he/she has a 2015 car
But for those of us with older cars it is an option. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

Hi Andy, most deffo a HE! never been confused with a girlie before!!!
Mine is a company car and I am sure you can't blank the EGR on the later model.
My old TD4 (freelander1) had the same problem so I blanked it, again a huge difference and it never failed an MOT.
If you can blank the earlier models then I say go for it.
Thanks Hit it he said, Hit it!--So I hit it, then he hit me---Doh!
