Hi Folks, My 2005 Freelander TD started to lose/reduce power for a few seconds - almost like some thing was holding it back and then it regains power. It seems to get worse when accelerating. Also I noticed that during these periods of power loss the exhaust fumes increased markedly. I backed the car up to a grassy bank and revved the engine and the grass turned black very quickly. I just checked the oil and it looks black/sooty so getting that changed and new filter fitted tomorrow just in case that is the problem but I really don't know much about cars but I know the oil change etc won't harm it. Worried it may be something far more serious and any suggestions would be very welcome. PS Don't know if the following is relevant but I had a new clutch, duel mass flywheel and concentric slave cylinder fitted on 12 May 2015. (Cost £1016) Thanks for any help/advice anyone may have.
Regards
Robert
