Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My mate's freelander is cutting out once the engine is at normal temp. Sometimes when he slows back to idle it keeps running then at revs it cuts out again. Won't restart, it seems, until the engine has cooled down. He lives in a hot climate.
It is a 1.8 99 model
Sometimes it goes without any trouble at all.
Any help would be appreciated

It will most likely be some of the lining from inside the fuel tank coming off and blocking the fine mesh intake filter on the bottom of the fuel pump. This is a common problem with freelanders (common enough that Land Rover have made the filter available as a seperate part, where it wasn't originally, I believe), and usually presents as a lack of power or engine dieing. Restarts are possible after a period of time, as the loose bits of crap which have been sucked up against the filter have time to settle to the bottom again, until you drive off again and it all gets sucked back up against the filter.

Pull the fuel pump out, and unclip the plastic bucket from the bottom of it, to access the filter at the foot of the pump - look carefully for gunk in the bottom of the little bucket and in the gauze filter, (usually brownish in colour). If present, clean it very thoroughly (or see if the filter is available as a part, I'm fairly sure it is these days). If gunk present, look very carefully in the tank, and if there is evidence of any kind of loose materials floating around on the bottom, clean it out. Best way to do that is to siphon it out, wipe it out with clean rags, then put fresh clean fuel in it (don't re-use the fuel you siphoned out).

If you have access to a pressure gauge you can hook up to your fuel line, you could check for pressure drop at time of cutting out before going to pulling the fuel pump out, but if not removing the pump is not a difficult job to do yourself.

Will pass on the info.
thanks
