Didn't last long...

549km to be exact

New TD4 Dynamic Coupe picked up Friday pm

Currently sitting by the side of the freeway exit ramp waiting for a tow truck

Driving home from the long weekend in the rain, yellow triangle warning light came on. Pulled off onto exit ramp and then red triangle warning light came on. Stopped. Tried to restart - car revs but them stalls. Orange engine warning light on.

Not happy !!!!!

Any ideas ?

Sorry to hear that!

Was there any messages on the driver instrument panel when the amber/red engine light came on?

RE: Didn't last long...

I had the similar issue but mine occurred due to a faulty ERG sensor. Did you call LandRover for assistance?

I've also read that the same error could occur on SI4 engines in wet conditions, http://babyrr.com/forum/Thread-LR-wet-en...-Christmas

I'd ask LandRover whether this issue exists on TD4/SD4 when you follow up with them?

Durham
Sorry to hear the bad news. Hope it's only something simple and you can be back on your way quickly
I haven't quite done that many Ks since my pick up on Friday, I will be keeping my fingers crossed. The only two issues I have had were
1: Car didn't recognise that I had the key( it was in the centre console with phone and ipod ), got them out and away we went
2: Car wouldn't start, key in hand, still wouldn't start, a bit of panic starts to set in, look at display and it tells me to put my foot on the BRAKE
Feel like an idiot, only excuse I can offer is after 10 years in a manual, it's hard to change a habit.

TD4 Pure Coupe, Firenze Red, Tech Pack, Panoramic Roof, auto head lights
Ordered : Early Aug, Build :Nov 21 :Boat arrived 9th Jan,Very Happy Dealer called, picking up Friday Jan 25th

It does sound odd. Given a wade depth of 500 mm and some deep water crossings been done by quite a few people in the past and good old UK being the soggy place it is, I wouldn't expect the wet causing this.
I hope it is something benign.
Not nice when your new baby have to sleep over at the car hospital.
