RRFF - 3.6 TDV8 Intermittent power & engine failure
Discussion
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.
