Hi. Back again.
I have a D3 for occasional use/shooting.
57 plate commercial.
147000 miles Auto.

At around 50mph on light throttle it judders then hunts on the rev range.
Only moves 200rpm on counter.

Any help needed, have no clue why it wasn't attended to under warranty!?

Could be EGR's, or needing a fuel/air filter change or maybe the auto box fluid is needing changed.

I recon for your mileage the full service with high quality fuilds and filters along with a double flush on the gearbox will help it anyway.

Your engine can't currently get an egr valve clanking kit as the engine warning light comes on. Way round this is currently in development.

If it's not them then you won't have done your car any harm doing these.

Land Rover wanted £700 to fix our disco.
£72 for a gear box flush fixed it.

Try a gearbox "mega flush" (Google it) the only way to ensure a complete change of oil.

Thanks still all good at the moment.
Bottom off filter magnet change sorted it.
