Default Engine System Fault - Special Programs Off

Hi.

I have a 2006 range rover sport which was parked up for a long period of time without driving. I had begun to drive it again recently but when pushing the accelerator up to around 100km/hr a warning light and 'Engine Systems Fault' or sometimes 'Special Programs Off' would come on with the immediate loss of power and speed. I would have to then pull over, turn off the engine, start up again to return to normal driving until I do the same thing again. This was a major problem as I had no confidence to overtake slow moving traffic.
I took it to service and they said that there was a turbo and EGR fault. I felt that i had no other choice but to replace them and it was done with quality tested used parts.
I got it back the other day and now when I accelerate hard to around 100km/hr the message 'Engine Systems Fault' comes on but now with no loss of power.
Other times the 'Special Programs Off' message will show and I will lose power and have to pullover.
Warning light does not show anymore.
Dealer says that it could be problem with parts I got but feel that the problem could be somethingelse...

Hopefully someone here can she'd some light on the problem.

Thanks

Default Interested on your response

hi. Did you ever get this sorted? I have just had a very similar experience. Currently I have the exact same 2 issues. Engine message with no loss of power and special programmes with a loss of power. I have just my egrs replaced. My turbo had seized but the garage freed it up, but I’m guessing maybe the turbo!

cheers

Mine is still not sorted. Now if I rev above 3000 rpm it goes straight into limp mode...

These problems are caused by a split hose that goes to the turbo causing it to lose power or can be loose connectors in the Terrain Control module. Or also if yr battery is weak and has lose terminals.
hope one of this may solve yr issues.
cheers
