Basically pre failure it would change into 4th at about 60 kph, after failure at about 80 kph and all up changes appeared generally delayed. The gear change issue sounded strange but it's not unknown with MAFs failing as the ecu links both engine and transmission (see Ashcroft transmissions FAQ). Mine showed no codes but did result in delayed gear changes, hesitation etc. MAF - mine failed at more or less the same time just to confuse matters. I had 2 fail at the same time so perhaps yours has too? I had my doubts at first but sure enough 2 had gone, one from each coil. Bugger of a job to replace but just possible without removing too much. Plug leads are a very common problem and will often only be noticed under load. He did get p1590 code but that just relates to the 3 amigos. I don't want to spend lots of money on it as it will only break something else in 6 months.īy the way the mechanic didn't use a proper land rover code reader just the one he had. I don't know where to start since the local mechanic wasn't too keen on working on it and got no fault codes on his reader. The car (2000 model) has only done 142,000 km and the motor was replaced under warranty at 42,000 km. The noise and shudder only happen under load so I can't check it with the bonnet up in the driveway. There is no coolant in the oil that I can see and the chirp doesn't sound like I remember a blown head gasket sounding. It runs smoothly on no acceleration so I am sort of discounting the front drive shaft for now. I took it to the local mechanic who found a suspect plug lead and changed it and whilst actually running better it still has a shudder that seems in time with the motor and I can hear a chirping sound coming from the front of the car that started happening at the same time that sounds more like a fan belt noise.
It seems like the car has dropped a cylinder as it runs roughly under acceleration and something doesn't sound right. I have noticed in the last few k's a real roughness coming from the car.
