It happened to me once several months ago...the dealer replaced a couple of sensors in the fuel system and it has not happened since.

Does this problem still exist on the 09 models? If it is, they have had 2 years to rectify this problem along with a number of others. I am a land rover fan but these ongoing problems don't inspire any confidence especially when I am thinking of buying one in the near future.

Maggsie in all fairness to the dealership......up until I put my post up "where do you keep your PUMA" I was the only person that had been experiencing this problem for over a year.

I knew of no other person that had the problem other than 1 person in the uk.
I think you will find a few people are only starting to experience the problem.

For most of the 7 this particular issue has been very minor only the sensors being faulty.

Mine is the 09 albeit delivered in August 08.

I've done a couple of long trips without incident and the couple of minor things that happened have been fixed under warranty without quibble.

I haven't regretted my decision to buy and with eyes wide open thanks to what I have learned here wouldn't think twice about going anywhere in my Defender.

Following up on my first post, about an hour after the problem occurred I tried starting again with no problems and no engine light illuminated, no chance to take it for a run will do that tomorrow night.

I think dullbird in an earlier post is trying to associate as to where you keep your defender to the problem, if this helps mine is normally housed in the garage (Disco in the carport) but last night it was out side with the temperature down to about 4 c,being one off the coldest nights for a while in Perth.

Thanks

Yes there is a link between this problem and the cold or at least there appears to be so far excluding one possibly two cars...but one of them lives in a colder climate

As our night temperatures are dropping fast (can go as low as minus 2 degrees celsius) will do some trials and post the results over the next couple weeks, although did not have a problem last winter.
