Simon_CSK Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I was towing a transporter trailer the last day or two and had massive powerloss when the trailer was empty. At one stage with just the trailer I had to give the engine a lot of gas just to pull away from the lights up hill. Shortly afterwards I loaded the trailer with a P38 Range Rover and towed it 50 miles without problem. I am wondering what caused the power loss and why was it so intermittent? Would appreciate all thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangy35 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Mate there is not much to work with, it could be many things. Turbo hoses collapsing, fuel pump on its way, turbo waste gate sticky, just so many options. Sorry for not more strait to the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When cold I have to crank the engine for a while, to get the fuel through to start it. This morning I flattened the battery. Also my rear screen had diesel residue on it as if I have a diesel leak. Not had a chance to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
