United Kingdom 2013 Range Rover Vogue SDV8 Corris Grey
Engine juddering and unable to go over 30mph

All, thought I might share this info with you. I was driving along last week around 70-75 on the motorway when my engine started to 'judder' a fair bit. If I tried to accelerate, there appeared to be resistance and the tacho showed the car fighting the increase in rpm (could not get near 3000). I gradually drove more slowly and feathered the accelerator but still power was lacking, on the 'A' roads I just about sat comfortably around 30mph with less juddering, but when setting off from traffic lights, it took a good 40-45secs to reach 30. Once home, checked the fullfatrr forum (no warning lights or messages on car display by the way and my diagnostic tool also showed nothing but it is quite a basic one) and the problem appeared to be either the fuel filter (changed last March), the low pressure aux fuel pump, or a failed injector so I started thinking a big bill was imminent. However,got it into the Main dealer and their kit showed an injector issue, but once they checked into it, they found it was corrossion on several of the contacts on the fuel injector wiring loom. Loom was replaced (@£60 incl VAT) and all fine again. Thinking back starting around a month, I had noticed that the car seemed a bit 'flat' when accelerating and I was starting to think the turbo was failing or something of that ilk. Hope this info is of use to someone else.
Cheers Steve
