I'd quite forgotten how bad it feels to suffer a breakdown - it's been years of mainly Japanese or German cars to blame! We set off on our first caravan tour yesterday and got a whole 35 miles under Freely power. Tootling along the A30 at around 60mph when power suddenly drops to push-bike levels. "Reduced engine power" flashes on the dash display and we pull into the next layby.

Annual service at an independent Land Rover specialist (High Lanes Garage, Perranporth.) Don't think the fuel filter was changed and can't check at the moment but thanks for the steer. Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto

It seems to have rise it's head a few times this reduce power and it's only a fuel filter that needs changing (that's if it is that) I may start stating on a service that they change the filter just for peace of mind. rjc1944 still enjoy your break away. MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green

A second vote for fuel filter as cause, had some hiccups when towing our caravan, but not reduced performance message, due to fuel filter. I change filter every year now.

Am I right in thinking that there was a change to the turbo in later models? Something about water cooling? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

What I really wanted to know under what circumstances does the "increased engine power" light come on then?? |

We've had this happen twice on our MY11 car, the first being a busted turbo , the second only recently being a failed temp sensor in the exhaust. |
