BogMonster Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 No idea but it sounds like you should start waving the warranty at somebody before it is too late. Have you only just got the car? could possiblyreturn it as not fit for purpose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you only just got the car? could possiblyreturn it as not fit for purpose? thanks for your reply just come off the phone with the dealer as said he would send someone out to it on monday.I have only had the car exactly 1 week. Will check to see if 14 day cooling off period applies. not to sure with cars etc.I have spoken to a few friends who are quite knowledgable with LR but they have not come across it before . I was thinking it may be a cracked ring once heat built up expansion is sealing the compression hence then running more or less ok when warmed up just grabing at straws now. nothing like buying a new car with a fault to get your blood boiling. should of stuck with me old 200tdi .

JimAttrill Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Could be one of the 'normal' problems, oil in the harness, injector washers, air in the fuel, etc etc ad nauseam. Let us know what they do to fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know what they do to fix it just check the oil it appears to be ok no sign of diesel in it feels ok and does not smell of diesel.not checked harness as I may invalidate the warranty.got to wait until engineer turns up from dealer to check for that one. will have to wait another day. at least I know it is not the fuel leaking into the engine oil sump. will let all know the outcome when sorted .
