• Land Rover Discovery 4 - Restricted performance 25 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  Hi, My wife and I bought a used LR D4 at the end on January - diesel, manual and about 83,000 miles. 3/4 weeks ago the Restricted Performance light came on. We have taken it to the local LR dealership and who thought it could be related to the fuel filter or moisture in the fuse box as a seal had broken, both where fixed. circa 350 miles later it happened again. This time the dealership have replaced the "fuel rail pressure", but it has happened again.
