Hello.

I do hope some can help in resolving the intermittent cutting out of the engine that started at the end of August this year. I appoligies for the long story but hope all the details will help to resolve the problem.

I have a Jaguar 2.0 ltr diesel, 06 with 93k 0n the clock. I purchased the car at the end of july this year. The car was driving fine mostly local journeys. Then i was driving the dorset at the end of August for our holiday. We had driven about 50 miles along the motorway when the car lost power but was still running. I came off at the next junction and stop the car in a car park. The glow plug light was on. Not knowing what the problem was i turned the engine of and proceeded to restart the engine. The engine started but when pressing the accelorator it wouldnt go over 2000rpm. I turned the engine of again and the glow plug stayed on. I tried again and all then seemed ok. I drove a total of 750 miles to our holiday and back with no further problems. The car had its MOT in september and all seemed fine until one day the engine just stopped whilst driving along. all the lights on the dash showed up just like they do before you turn the engine over. I restarted the car and all seemed fine. this continued to happen intermittently over the next week or so mostly when turning right at a junction and roundabouts in travelling mode. If you were turning right from a stand still position it would not cut out. I took the car to the garage. They tried a few different thing but ended up refering me to a fuel injection specialist who changed some pipes at the cost of £180. They reported no error codes when tested on the computer. I drove the car home and seemed ok. The next day it happened again and intermittently over the next week. I couldnt get it back the garage due to work comittments. I popped into another garage local to me to get a second opinion and told them of the work that had been done on it. They flagged up that the other garage did not have a good reputation. I booked the car in on Tuesday this week. So far the mechanic has not found the problem. I have trawlled other forums for similar issues and have made a list of potential solutions from the forums to try and help the mechanic as it seems this is an ever increasing problem with this diesel engine. I will update what the mechanic has done as he said it is a process of elimination. If any can help or knows why this can happen then i would be eternally greatfull.

PS.

I have also noticed that when starting the car on these cold mornings that it would cut out whilst ticking over and when i pulled out of my driveway to the traffic lights on my road which is uphill it would cut out and would be hard to start again as it was facing uphill although eventually it would start after 5 mins of trying to start.

Its all very annoying and is potentually very expensive to repair.

Many thanks
