PERIODICALLY, THE CAR TEMPERATURE WOULD SUDDENLY SHOOT UP OVERHEATING AND THE A.C. WOULD STOP WORKING. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO COOL DOWN THE ENGINE AND THEN THE TEMPERATURE WOULD RETURN BACK TO NORMAL AND THE A.C WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. LAND ROVER SAID IT WAS AN "INTERMITTENT OPEN IN THE FAN MOTOR WHEN IT WAS HOT". THEY REPLACED THE FAN ASSEMBLY AND MODULE AND REPROGRAMMED THE ECM. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
PRIOR TO EVENT- CAR WOULD STALL OUT, WOULD HAVE TO REV UP TO GET GOING. INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. 2008 LANDROVER LR2 SHUTS OFF AT IDLE- BAD FUEL PUMP AT 50, 000 MILES MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE LANDROVER DEALERSHIP SHOP, FUEL PUMP MODULE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY AS PER LANDROVERS SUGGESTION- PRIOR TO 50,000 MILES, AFTER HITTING 50,000 MILES AND WARRANTY NO LONGER VALID, PROBLEM FOUND! FUEL PUMP NEEDS REPLACED FOR A VERY UNREASONABLE $ RATE . (AS ORIGINALLY SUGGESTED BY OWNERS) SEE WHAT THE SHOP DIDN'T KNOW WAS PRIOR TO THEM REPLACING THE MODULE AND READING THE CODES, I WENT AND HAD THE CODES READ AT ANOTHER SHOP. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED CODE- PO62800, WHEN ACTUALLY THE CODES THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS READING WAS 0087, 0305, 0306, 0300. ALL CODES THAT WOULD HAVE LET YOU KNOW THAT THIS WAS SURELY A FUEL PUMP ERROR. OBVIOUSLY A SCAM, SO THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD RUN UP, AND WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. IN THE END, WHEN YOU READ ONLINE, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, AND THESE DEALERSHIPS. IN ADDITION, THEY HAVE ALSO NOTED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS REPLACED? *TR
