Yeah, looks a bit naff to me too. Do you know if there is a part number for that pipe (I assume there is...) just wondering if it could be acting as a choke on fuel flow. |

I'm just wondering if that pipe has been cut and re-joined to insert a priming device inline to prime/purge a replacement fuel filter.

I thought the F2 was self priming but happy to be wrong... Either way, I'm more concerned about the reduction in diameter. Might need to replace fuel filter and that pipe. |

Looks like a clear piece of pipe inserted.

You are wrong..they are not self priming! (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto. Statutory write off & on WOVR for hail damage but still road legal. 171037Km as of 09/05/22 Superchips Bluefin Flash Nanocom Evo II (also sold) |

Thanks for that. So there must be a way of re-priming built in - but I can't find it in the manual.

It could be a split intercooler hose.

Having had just this ie limp mode going up a hill it pointed at fuel starvation. A new fuel filter fixed the problem. A LR Assist guy once told me that some of the early fuel filters were too fine and prone to waxing up on very cold days at the beginning of winter when summer diesel (with less anti waxing agents) was used. This is unlikely in your case but I would start with the fuel filter. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Thanks for all the replies. I have checked the intercooler hoses and they seem okay - no splits that I can find - so have rdered a new fuel filter. Will sort that tomorrow and see if things are any better.

AKB, in respect of your clutch comment, if the fly-wheel is slipping it will be most obvious in higher gears on uphill slopes around 2,000 revs. The fly-wheel problem appears to be quite common on elderly manual FL2s, mine’s been doing it for at least the last 50,000 miles and my driving style has adapted to suit. But you should notice it over-revving and not picking up speed, where I suspect what you are seeing is a drop or lag in revs despite you trying to accelerate. Fuel filter issues seem to be even more common and hopefully replacing yours will cure the fault. 2005 D3 2.7 Auto

Hi Worms, thanks for that - i am seeing revs drop and not over-revving so am hoping that it is the fuel filter. It will be having that changed today so fingers crossed... 2004 TD4 Gone

Just to chuck another parameter into the mix, potentially it could be a sticking Turbo Actuator arm. They have been known to stick under load, and will throw a similar code. |

Well, just got the car back and it was the filter. Pulls like a train, it's so much better. Thanks for all the advice folks. I'm a happy man! 2004 TD4 Gone
