What owners wrote
2008 land rover lr2 has a problem with overheating and non acceleration. The consumer stated the vehicle began knocking slightly after starting it. After driving a few feet, it would not accelerate. The reduced engine performance light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and a day later, the dealer informed the consumer that the fuel line was faulty. Four days later, the vehicle stopped accelerating and it felt as though the vehicle was in neutral.
I own a land rover lr2 2008, and it started making a humming noise from the back end starting around 50,000 miles. The noise has progressively gotten louder. After changing tires, differential fluids, and bringing it to a mechanic (independent), the problem was diagnosed as a faulty differential system. Online research confirms this problem as common among this make model and year.
