Just out of warranty and d4 is losing power at 80
Hi
Whenever I hit 80 I lose power intermittently (feels quite jolty)
Annoyingly I am out of warranty by 3 months.....anyone else had the same prob? Is it expensive?
Thank you

I think there was a bulletin about this; although some customers were reluctant to mention the speed required to trigger it.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

Someone on here may have it (if my memory is correct on the issue), your dealer will have it, a good indie will have access to TSBs or you could purchase access to all TSBs on Topix for a period via:

It's a fault with the throttle body and is a known issue - I suggest your first port of call is with your dealer and then see how they treat you...
If it's anything like mine, it can be an intermittent fault (as in, I presume you don't need to drive at 80 every day...) and so you could suggest that it had actually reared its' head prior to the end of the warranty period but the combination of a) fault, b) phone to hand, c) the dealer being open and d) you thinking that it might be worth raising the issue have only really come to fruition.
Good luck and let us all know how you get on...
