2003 range rover vogue 3.0 tdv6
went into garage last week because the auto box didn't engage drive when cold for about 10 seconds, turned out to be air flow meter and all is fine on that front but now the car takes an age to get going from standing start, turbo seems to be making the usual whistle but never noticed this before this problem,
it was quite a quick car for the size, put your foot down and it was off but not now and engine management light doesn't illuminate at all  ,

I had a 4.6 v8. Was an absolute pain in the arse. Always a a electrical problem. Was a tadge thirsty.

pmsl I couldn't afford to run one of them lol, electrics seems alright fingers crossed

The engine light does not come on with ignition / Have you tried to retrieve codes yourself ?

No EML could be fuses, earths or the control unit itself.

tried to read codes but none come up and none stored, just finished checking all the fuses and all were fine apart from the transfer box fuse but now the car keeps telling me to slow down lol, was fine before it went into the garage but now its annoying me, feels like the turbo isn't working till 3k revs but its a brand new turbo fitted about 6 months ago by previous owner

if the garage have fitted a cheap air flow meter could this cause the running issues I am having??

Quite possibly. It could be the EGR valve also causing the fault. An EGR valve that's failed can/mainly will throw up an airflow code and 75% of tech will fit an airflow and not cure the problem.

I would check the EGR valve for operation. Vacuum at the unit ? See if you can remove and check it for seizure ?

I think you should fix it for me lol, I haven't a clue apart from the obvious things I will pay the going rate just need someone I trust and know the job has been done right

I would happily fix it but Newcastle is a canny drive to Middlesbrough.

It is mate, but I can pick u up from Newcastle and you drive the car back and fix it and vice versa when it's done I will pay you for your time aswell as fixing the car,
