'Engine system fault' message
The above message has started flashing up when I try and kickdown, or accelerate through the gears hard, ususally around 50 mph, engine power is cut for about a second, then returns, the car bleeps at me then flashes up the above message. Never does it If I use command shift.
Will have to book it in to be looked at, was just interested to see If anyone else ever experienced this, and what the outcome was?www.Bitter-sweet.co.uk

Could be a transmission error or a blocked air filter

yes , had the same symptoms in same conditions and it was because both egr inlet pipes from the exhaust manifold were left loose after I blanked them off.Hope its some simple like airfilter as Iain suggests , good luck.

Did you get the fault sorted? Mine has done this a few times today. Had to turn off and re start to clear the fault. Did you find out it was something simple?
Mine does this when I left foot brake "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

Mine has done this ever since I had her. Always happens when it's hot, I'm travelling up hill, and in 6th gear trying to accelerate.Disco 5 HSE Lux

Not having a great LR month Old Freelander died last week with blown head gasket so as I'm off skiing for 3 weeks in the Pyrenees thought I would be prudent and get the Disco serviced ahead of time. Everything fine apparently.
10 miles down the motorway the Engine System Fault pops up and power reduces by 40%. Took it back to the dealer today - sit around drinking coffee - they reset the 'bug in the software' and off I go. 10 miles down the road same thing happens.
Anyone got any suggestions before I take in back for another go?
Cheers
