Hi all - hope you're keeping safe.
I've done some searches on this and not drawn any particular conclusions, so thought I'd seek the wisdom of the forum with my specific problem.
2006 TDV6, starship mileage (although not as high as some on here - wow!).
Drives perfectly most of the time and then very infrequently, engine system fault appears on the display accompanied by loss of power. Occurs when the car is working hard and usually at higher speeds - e.g. overtaking. I pop it into neutral, take my foot off the gas, allow the revs to drop to idle, rev it, back into drive and on my way, no further problem. No fault codes that I can attribute (EGR gremlin in the faultcode read-back along with an injector that reports a fault but clears); using Hawkeye to read faults.
Thoughts? Sometimes doesn't do it all. Instantly picks back up on the revs after allowing it to drop to idle.
Yours confused.
Chris

First thing to do is change the fuel filter for a OEM or Delphi one the Delphi is what LR use plenty on ebay around £20 posted. This may clear the fault I had this fault for a while and finally did the fuel filter myself again after a garage did not fit an OEM one a few months ago, they fitted a new filter but wasn't Delphi. Fault fixed.

As above but also check your low fuel pressure pump reading at the engine test point, it could be your low pressure fuel pump is dying.

Thanks both - will give it a shot. Flack not 100% certain I know what you mean about engine test point? Is it part of the live data feed I can read on Hawkeye?
I thought you might say the dreaded T word i.e. turbo!!
Best

Lot of carp fuel about at the minute.
Trucks needing filters changing every 8 weeks.
