Has 2:20 on the engine and about 60 miles. Throttle stopped responding, engine shut off, started again stopped responding backfired and check engine light came on and engine died. Thoughts?

If it is than it will require a trip back to the dealer.🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plugged into it so it stays dirt free. Pictures below... Hope they help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the plug under the hood like you guys said thank you since the guy in Motorsports down in Winnipeg kept arguing with me that it was under the glove box. We then had issue after issue with the buds computer but we had one shipped in from another community so I'm about to go hook it up and see what it says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open up your air filter and check it, its probably full of pine cones. Your dealer should have serviced this before shipping but instead just loaded it and shipped it. Did your Defender come in a container or was it fully assembled? If assembled this should have been obvious. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fault code T0106, pressure sensor on the cylinder head apparently but did find this. Still pissed off this was sold to me as brand new, but since I work for the company I have to play this with kids gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your up and running soon because you don't get compensated for loss of use.🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm no longer I Defender owner sadly because I did enjoy the machine when it wasn't dying my company has nothing in stock right now because can an apparently isn't really making much so I bought an ATV for now and next year or the year after on the Summers sealift on my tat going to send up an HD 8 a Maverick Trail or Commander 800 the commander 800 in the Maverick Trail where the two I was actually looking at before I pick up the hd5 and I only picked up the hd5 because I was guaranteed to get it because they had it in stock at the warehouse and the others we had to wait to see if they were able to get any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
