Hi all, really need some help! About a month ago my freelander was struggling to start first thing in the morning when it eventually started it run really sluggish then kept on cutting out was also getting low engine power message appear, took it to the garage and they replaced the crankshaft sensor but the problem continued took it bk and had a new throttle body fitted and for the last 2 weeks it's been running fine went to go to work this morning and the problem is back! Has anybody got any ideas??

Diesel filter? When was it last changed. 
Hung like Einstein, smart as a horse.

About 6 weeks ago when it was serviced

Any fault codes?

No fault codes only when I took it to garage, crankshaft sensor!

Could be the MAF and MAP sensors need cleaning but it's a shot in the dark. Would have thought there would be some fault codes shown

When it was serviced was the fuel filter changed for genuine LR filter as pattern fuel filters can give problems.

My 2011 SD4 seemed to have lost some of its ponies so I did the normal things, service, filters, etc. It had no fault codes showing. After all that there was no improvement. On a whim I changed the MAF sensor. Wow, what a difference! It ran smoother and was much more responsive and noticeably quicker. A degraded MAF sensor will not usually result in a fault code and they do deteriorate over time.

Thanks guys, will be getting the fuel filter changed at the weekend.

Try & find out first if the filter was changed & if it was maybe a genuine LR filter might have been fitted

As you encountered the problem in the morning, at cold startup, not later, after warmup (like the suggested topic says), try to blank off the EGR first.
A few quids for a blanking plate and a few minutes to fit. If it's OK, then you may have a problem with the EGR being/remaining sometimes stuck open...

Just returned from the garage and they run a diagnostic check and it came back crankshaft sensor fault!! So have been on the phone to the garage who replaced this about 5 weeks ago, it's under warranty so they will replace it. Do you think this is problem????

These Crank sensors can be very fickle - you must use genuine OEM ones to be sure. I once fitted one I got from an autoparts factor and although their stuff is normally good enough the car never ran right till I had a genuine one fitted.

That said, I don't think a crank sensor will make it lose power as such so you probably have something else affecting it as well. The fuel filter and sensor together might be the issue 09 FL2 GS TD4e Current
