This error, often accompanied by a change in exhaust noise, is a seized turbo actuator on the passenger side turbocharger. While access is somewhat surgical, it will help to spray the actuator rod generously with some WD40. This message will not come back after turning the engine off and back on again because the cranking procedure includes resetting the actuators. They are electrically operated and resetting is actually audible just before the engine starts up. For anyone getting this message, if it DOES NOT disappear after engine restart, it points to split intercooler hose. If it disappears - it's turbo actuator.
Hi Ben - compliments of the season to you and your family. I've had restricted performance come up on mine about 3-4 times, it's usually when I have to give it boot-full to get out of a junction when I leave work and its not fully warmed up, and similar to yours, I pull over switch it off and after re-starting its cleared itself.
I’ve owned a 4.4v8 for 5 years, from 76k to now on 126k miles. Mine does this on average once per year and has never resulted in anything. Pull over and turn it all off, wait 5mins and restart clears it. My guess is either a sensor throws an erroneous error.
I pulled in to fill up with fuel, went to switch it back on and the warning had gone. So guessing it is as you say an erroneous error thrown up. Got an airport run tomorrow, will see if it does it again.
I dread going to the CT test, they would reasonably be expected to know what they are doing, but the last test on my TD5 Defender he left it on tickover for a full 5 minutes while he sorted out his computer link, then, surprise, when he did the emission test it did not pass! Not that you can even complain. Have a good Christmas! Chris B.
Yes, we al will get that sinking feeling when that happens! Hade it happen when down shifting down a long hill. Cleared it with my Hawkeye, al god.... But now my heart is racing every time i start it....
yes, that feeling is not good. Took it for a blast up the motorway yesterday, and it seems to be fine. Just another of those little gremlins hiding in the car.
Yea I get that but u have less things to go wrong with the v8 petrol unlike the diesel with turbos and high pressure fuel lines injectors but we all still love the l322 Range Rover
Hi Ben, Great video as always. I had a similar problem on my 3.6 and the inlet manifold had split. There's a bit about it in my video here ruclips.net/video/7i-CJxk46i0/видео.html I think I've linked the time stamp but if not its around the 14:30 mark. It's a common issue with the TDV8 so worth checking yours as the problem only gets worse over time. I expect that was a reason that the previous owner sold mine but it was an easy fix and is driving beautifully now. All the best mate.
Good to know, thanks. I'll keep an eye on it. Gave a blast up the motorway yesterday (airport run) and nothing came up on the dash. Thinking it might have got a bit upset at having it's nuts revved off at the CT.
I love a good ol smokey oil burner. And as you probably know, you can and will still get restricted performance on the petrol V8, just likely to be a different thing causing it.
I've cleared the code and it has not come back, so fingers crossed on this one.

Loved the video, Ben and I learned something more about the Gap tool … have to try those options out myself one of these days 😊
The Gap tool is priceless if you have one of these cars.

I gave the car a good clear out on the run up to the CT station, and when he tested the emissions they were fairly clean (luckily).

Ben which diagnostic tool are you using? Details not in your description.
Think it might have been the GAP IID tool.
Merry Xmas to you Ben and the Hobbit.
Merry Christmas to you too.
Check the intercooler hoses, they are prone to splitting .
I replaced mine with silicone hoses, just for that very reason.
What diagnostics system are you using? Looks good
That's the GAP IID Tool. A bit pricey, but well worth it if you have a Range Rover or other model of Land Rover.
Yea I get that but u have less things to go wrong with the v8 petrol unlike the diesel with turbos and high pressure fuel lines injectors but we all still love the l322 Range Rover
Yes, Range Rover all the way.
Hi Ben had this happen twice to me check the pressure sensor on top of air inlet plenum it gets full of crap from EGR hope this helps
I’ll check it out.
Where is this located plz ?
@@andyyoungblood10 it’s on the inlet plenum just in front of oil filter
Did u ever fix the low power problem
cleared all fault codes and nothing has come back, might have confused the car doing the emissions test and blasting the throttle wide open.

Oh matey that’s not good big triangle of doom but it’s a deisal wouldn’t get that with a trusty v8 petrol matey

Don’t buy old diesels. So many stupid sensors and valves.
