Thread: Defender engine problem

Took the 110 out this morning, all went well for the first 30ks or so, then got a loss of power resulting in it only limping along in 2nd or 3rd at crawling speed.

Felt like a lack of fuel problem, no obvious hoses off or anything, and both lift pump and injection pump are less than 12 months old, so shouldn't be the cause.

I'm going to swap the fuel filter and clean the one at the back later today, incase they're clogged (Though they're relatively new and recently cleaned from the last service too) and will also pull the intercooler hose off to check it's not a lack of air problem into the engine but wouldn't mind some pointers on what else I should be checking?

Failing that, it's off to a mechanic if I can find one!!

Thanks

Is it a Tdi if so mine did something similar = Timing Belt check before you go too far as you havent bent valves or push rods yet
