Hi,

my wife about 3 weeks ago put 20 litres of petrol into the above.

I necked it with Diesel straight away, thinking there would be no issue.

There wasn't for about a week & I continued to run it low & refill with Diesel.

After a week or so we kept getting engine management failure, terrain response failure, transmission failure, limited gears warnings etc coming up!

Also check numberplate light, which seems to have a bad earth, as bulb was replaced.

I thought it might be connected to the Petrol & thought it would get flushed out, as probably had 300 litres of Diesel through it by now.

Problem still exists mainly in the mornings ( 20degrees in the morning here so not cold )

It resets with turning the ignition on and off but can happen upto a dozen times ( cutting power to limp mode on a single school run )

Once the initial school run is done 9/10 it is fine for the day??

Booked into my local LandRover independent again who looked at it before but so far haven't come up with a definite answer?

Help appreciated.
